Example 12.11. A pair of involute spur gears with 16° pressure angle and pitch of module
6 mm is in mesh. The number of teeth on pinion is 16 and its rotational speed is 240 r.p.m. When the
gear ratio is 1.75, find in order that the interference is just avoided ; 1. the addenda on pinion and
gear wheel ; 2. the length of path of contact ; and 3. the maximum velocity of sliding of teeth on either
side of the pitch point.
Solution. Given : φ = 16° ; m = 6 mm ; t = 16 ; N 1 = 240 r.p.m. or ω1 = 2π × 240/60
= 25.136 rad/s ; G = T / t = 1.75 or T = G.t = 1.75 × 16 = 28

= 84 (1.054 − 1) = 4.56 mm Ans.
2. Length of path of contact
We know that the pitch circle radius of wheel,
R = m.T / 2 = 6 × 28 / 2 = 84 mm
and pitch circle radius of pinion,
r = m.t / 2 = 6 × 16 / 2 = 48 mm
∴ Addendum circle radius of wheel,
RA = R + Addendum of wheel = 84 + 10.76 = 94.76 mm
and addendum circle radius of pinion,
rA = r + Addendum of pinion = 48 + 4.56 = 52.56 mm
We know that the length of path of approach,
PL = ( rA ) 2 − r 2 cos 2 φ − r sin φ
