Problem No. (14 – 9)

A 20◦ full-depth steel spur pinion with 18 teeth is to transmit 2.5 hp at a speed of 600
rev/min. Determine appropriate values for the face width and diametral pitch based on
an allowable bending stress of 10 kpsi.
Given:
∅=20° ( Full depth)
N P=18−teeth

P=2.5 HP
n P=600 rpm

σ =10000 psi
