CHAP 5 MACHINE DESIGN PAGE 243

Given : Z1 = 16 teeth , Z 3 = 15 teeth and Z 4 = ? , Z2 = ?

Velocity ratio N1 = Z2 /Z1 N \ 1/Z
N4 Z 3 /Z 4
= Z2 # Z 4 = 12 ...(i)
Z1 Z3
But for stage 1, N1 = Z 2 = 4 ...(ii)
N2 Z1
So, 4 # Z 4 = 12 from eq. (i)
Z3
Z4 = 3, & Z 4 = 3 # 15 = 45 teeth
Z3
From equation (ii), Z2 = 4 # Z1 = 4 # 16 = 64 teeth

SOL 5.43 Option (B) is correct.

Let centre distance in the second stage is D .
D = R4 + R3 = D4 + D3
2
But, D4 = D3 = 4 m = D/Z module
Z4 Z3
D 4 = 4 # Z 4 = 4 # 45 = 180
Or, D 3 = 4 # Z 3 = 4 # 15 = 60

So, D = 180 + 60 = 120 mm

SOL 5.44 Option (C) is correct.

In standard full height involute teeth gear mechanism the arc of approach is
not be less than the circular pitch, therefore
Maximum length of arc of approach = Circular pitch
...(i)
where Maximum length of the arc of approach
Max. length of the path of approach
=
cos φ
r sin φ
= = r tan φ
cos φ
Circular pitch, PC = πm = 2πr m = 2r
Z Z
Hence, from equation (i), we get
r tan φ = 2πr
Z
Z = 2π = 2π = 17.25 - 18 teeth
tan φ tan 20c
