3. A reciprocating compressor is to be connected to an electric motor with the help of spur gears.
The distance between the shafts is to be 500 mm. The speed of the electric motor is 900 r.p.m.
and the speed of the compressor shaft is desired to be 200 r.p.m. The torque, to be transmitted
is 5000 N-m. Taking starting torque as 25% more than the normal torque, determine : 1. Module

diameter of each gear. Assume suitable values of velocity factor and Lewis factor
4. A pair of helical gears are to transmit 15 kW. The teeth are 20° stub in diametral plane and have
a helix angle of 45°. The pinion runs at 10 000 r.p.m. and has 80 mm pitch diameter. The gear
has 320 mm pitch diameter. If the gears are made of cast steel having allowable static strength
of 100 MPa; determine a suitable module and face width from static strength considerations
and check the gears for wear, given σes = 618 MPa.
5. A bronze spur pinion rotating at 600 r.p.m. drives a cast iron spur gear at a transmission
ratio of 4 : 1. The allowable static stresses for the bronze pinion and cast iron gear are 84
MPa and 105 MPa respectively. The pinion has 16 standard 20° full depth involute teeth of
module 8 mm. The face width of both the gears is 90 mm. Find the power that can be
transmitted from the standpoint of strength.
 6. A helical cast steel gear with 30° helix angle has to transmit 35 kW at 1500 r.p.m. If the
gear has 24 teeth, determine the necessary module, pitch diameter and face width for 20°
full depth teeth. The static stress for cast steel may be taken as 56 MPa. The width of face

tooth factor for 20° full depth involutes gear may be taken as 0.154 - 0.912 /TE − where TE
represents the equivalent number of teeth.

3. A 35 kW motor running at 1200 r.p.m. drives a compressor at 780 r.p.m. through a 90° bevel
gearing arrangement. The pinion has 30 teeth. The pressure angle of teeth is 14 1/ 2° . The
wheels are capable of withstanding a dynamic stress, σw = 140(280/(280+v)) MPa, where v is
the pitch line speed in m / min. The form factor for teeth may be taken as 0.124 – 0.686/ TE ,
where TE is the number of teeth equivalent of a spur gear. The face width may be taken as 1/4
of the slant height of pitch cone. Determine for the pinion, the module pitch, face width,
addendum, dedendum, outside diameter and slant height.
4. A vertical two start square threaded screw of a 100 mm mean diameter and 20 mm pitch

250 mm outside diameter and 100 mm inside diameter. Find the force required at the end of a
lever which is 400 mm long in order to lift and lower the load. The coefficient of friction for
the vertical screw and nut is 0.15 and that for collar bearing is 0.20.
5. A pair of cast iron bevel gears connects two shafts at right angles. The pitch diameters of the
pinion and gear are 80 mm and 100 mm respectively. The tooth profiles of the gears are of 14
1/ 2˚ composite form. The allowable static stress for both the gears is 55 MPa. If the pinion
transmits 2.75 kW at 1100 r.p.m., find the module and number of teeth on each gear from the
standpoint of strength and check the design from the standpoint of wear. Take surface
endurance limit as 630 MPa and modulus of elasticity for cast iron as 84 kN/mm²
6. The cutter of a broaching machine is pulled by square threaded screw of 55 mm external
diameter and 10 mm pitch. The operating nut takes the axial load of 400 N on a flat surface of
60 mm and 90 mm internal and external diameters respectively. If the coefficient of friction is
0.15 for all contact surfaces on the nut, determine the power required to rotate the operating
nut when the cutting speed is 6 m/min. Also find the efficiency of the screw.
