Selection of material(refer PSG data book P.NO.8.4 & 8.5)

Assume life (If not given Assume 20,000 hrs)
Calculate Young Modulus(E) (refer PSG data book P.NO.8.14 and Table 9)
Calculate Design Stress
(a)Permissible value of bending stress [b]
[b] =1.4 ( kbl /k )-1(refer PSG data book P.NO.8.18)
kbl - (refer PSG data book P.NO.8.20 & table 22)
To select Kbl value from table based on Surface hardness & life in number of cycle
*Surface hardness to select based on material (refer PSG data book P.No 8.5)
* Life in number of cycle To calculate based on equation
= RPM of pinion (N1) x required life of bearing (in terms of minutes)
k-(refer PSG data book P.NO.8.19 & table 21)
To select K value from table based on Material and heat treatment & Addendum
modification coefficient
*Material and heat treatment -to select based on material
*Addendum modification coefficient Standard Assumption (x =0. x 0.1)

Where
u - (refer PSG data book P.NO.8.5 & table 7)
y - (refer chapter 1( Materials )from page No 1. To Page No 1.42)
(b)Permissible value of contact stress [c]
[c]=CB HB kcl
*CB To select value in table 16 based on wheel material (refer PSG data book P.NO.8.16)
*HB To select value in table 16 based on wheel material (refer PSG data book P.NO.8.16)
*Kcl To select value in table 17 based on wheel material and surface hardness and life in
number of cycle (refer PSG data book P.NO.8.16)
Surface hardness
- refer PSG data book P.NO.8.5 and Table 7
Life in number of cycle
- refer previous step

5. To calculate torque[Mt] (approximate value)(refer PSG data book P.NO.8.15)

[Mt] =Mtkd k
kd k = 1.3 (assume)
P =2n1Mt/60 => Mt =P*60 /2*3.14*n1
P power in W,n1 speed in RPM
6. To calculate cone distance(R) (refer PSG data book P.NO.8.13 and Table 8)

To calculate pitch diameter (d1av) (refer PSG data book P.NO.8.15 and table 14)
d1av= mtz1((R-05b)/R)
To calculate pitch line velocity (V1) (refer PSG data book P.NO.8.15 and table 14)
v1=d1avn /(60x1000)
To calculate (p)
(p) = (b/d1)
11. Revise [Mt] ,k,kd
