The following are the data for two crossed helical gears used for speed reduction:
Gear I: Pitch circle diameter in the plane of rotation 80 mm and helix angle 30°
Gear II: Pitch circle diameter in the plane of rotation 120 mm and helix angle 22.5°
If the input speed is 1440 rpm, the output speed in rpm is
-
- 1200
- 900
- 875
- 720
- 1200
Correct Option: B
For helical gears
Velocity ratio = | ||
d1 cosφ |
= | = | ||
120 cos22.5° | N1 |
∴ N2 = 1440 × 0.625 = 900 rpm
