Q6) It is required the design a pair of spur gear of 20° full depth involute teeth based on Lewis’s
equation. The velocity factor is to be used to account for dynamic load. The pinion shaft is
connected to a 10 KW, 1440 rpm motor. The starting torque of the motor is 150% of the
6
rated torque. The speed reduction is 4:1. The pinion as well as gear is made of plain Caron
steel, (Sut= 600 N/mm2), the fos =1.5. Design the gears specify their dimension suggest
suitable hardness for the gear.

25°. The face width is 40 mm and the normal module is 4 mm. The pinion as well as the
gear is made of steel 4OC8 (Sut = 600 N/mm2) and heat treated to a surface hardness of 6
300 BHN. The service factor and the factor of safety are 1.5 and 2 respectively. Assume
