Theory of Machines Miscellaneous

  1. A spur gear wi t h 20° full dept h teeth i s transmitting 20 kW at 200 rad/s. The pitch circle diameter of the gear is 100 mm. The magnitude of the force applied on the gear in the radial direction is
    1. 0.36 kN
    2. 2.78 kN
    3. 0.73 kN
    4. 1.39 kN
Correct Option: C

Given: φ = 20°
P = 20 kW, ω = 200 rad/s Pitch Circle Diameter = 100 mm
Now, force on radial direction (Fr),

Now ,
Fr
=
F sinφ
= tanφ
FtF cosφ

⇒ Fr = Ft tanφ
Also , T =
P
=
20 × 1000
= 100 N-m
ω200

T = Ft × r
Ft =
T
=
100
= 2000 N
r(100/2) × 10-3

Fr = Ft tan φ = 2000 tan 20 = 727.9 N
= 727.9 × 10-3 kN = 0.73 kN
