Problem Set 2
Gear Force Analysis

1- For the gear set shown in figure 1, pinion 2 is the driver, gear 3 is an idler, and the gears have
module of 4.2 mm and 20o pressure angle. Sketch the free-body diagram of the gears showing all the
acting forces. Pinion 2 rotates at 900 rev/min and transmits 25 hp to the gearset.

Figure 1

2- Solve Problem 1 if each pinion has right-hand helical teeth with a 30o helix angle and a 20o
pressure angle. All gears in the train are helical and the module is 4.2 mm.

3- In the bevel gear drive illustrated in figure 2, bearing A takes both thrust load and radial load,
whereas bearing B takes only radial load. The teeth are cut with a 20o pressure angle. For 𝑇2 = −26𝑘
Nm. Compute the bearing loads.
