Problem Definition:-

• The cost of manufacturing of involute profile of Gear teeth is very high.

• There is a problem of interference in geared transmission system.
• Two shafts having large distance required several number of gear, hence
forming a gear train to transmit power.
• Transmission at any angle is not possible through belt pulley transmission
system.

Study of research paper Study of mechanism

Design of parts Selection of material

Simulation Fabrication and Assembly

Selection of Material:-

The proper selection of material for the different part of

a machine is the main objective in the fabrication of
machine.
The choice of material for engineering purposes
depends upon the following factors:-
1. Availability of the materials.
2. Suitability of the materials for the working condition
in service.
3. The cost of the Materials.
4. Physical and chemical properties of material.
5. Mechanical properties of material.

contd…..
The mechanical properties of the metals are those, which
are associated with the ability of the material to resist
mechanical forces and load and these properties are as
follow:-
1. Strength:- It is the ability of a material to resist the
externally applied forces.
2. Stress:- Without breaking or yielding, the internal
resistance offered by a part to an externally applied
force is called stress.
3. Stiffness:- It is the ability of the material to resist
deformation under stresses. The modulus of elasticity
is the measure of stiffness.
4. Elasticity:- It is the property of the material to regain
its original shape after deformation when the external
forces are removed.
5. Plasticity:- It is the property of the material to retain
the deformation produced under load permanently.
6. Ductility:- It is a property of a material enabling it to draw
into wire with the application of tensile force.
7. Brittleness:- It is the property of breaking down of a
material with little permanent deformation.
8. Malleability:- It is a special case of ductility, which
permits material to be rolled or hammered into thin
sheets.
9. Toughness:- It is the property of a material to resist the
fracture due to high impact loads like hammer blows.
10. Resilience:- It is a property of a material to absorb energy
and to resist rock and impact load.
11. Creep:- when a part is subjected to a constant stress for
long period of time, it will undergo a slow and permanent
deformation called creep.
12. Hardness:- It embraces many different properties such as
resistance to wear scratching, deformation and
machinability etc.
contd…..
The machine element should be made of such a
material which has properties suitable for the
conditions of operations. In engineering practice, the
machine parts are subjected to various forces, which
may be due to one or more of the following:-
1. Energy transmitted.
2. Weight of machine.
3. Frictional resistance.
4. Inertia of reciprocating part.
5. Change of temperature.
6. Lack of balance of moving parts.

The selection of materials depends upon the various

types of stresses that are setup during operation. The
selected material should with stand it.
Selected material :- MILD STEEL.
Reasons:-
1. Mild steel is readily available in market.
2. It is economical to use
3. It is available in standard sizes
4. It has a good mechanical properties i.e. it is easily
machinable.
5. It has moderate factor of safety. Low factor of
safety results in unnecessary risk of failure
6. It has high tensile strength
7. Low co-efficient of thermal expansion

Design of parts:-
Pin is subjected bending. Hence it is been design Using
flexural
equation.
b = ( 32x M)/( π x d3)
Shaft and hub is subjected torsion. Hence it is been design
using
torsion equation.
 = (16 x T) / (π x d3)
Allowable bending stress:
b = 0.46 x UTS
Allowable torsion stress:
 = 0.22 x UTS
Power of motor:
¼ H.P = 746/4 =186.5 N-m/s
Simulations:-
Static structure analysis is to be performed on
the mechanism to watch the response of the
elbow rods, hub and shaft. In static structural
analysis total deformation and von-mises stress
analysis is carried out. Simulation is performed
by importing motion loads to the component.
Motion loads acts on component as dynamic
loads. Hence simulation performs dynamic
analysis of mechanism.
FABRICATION OF MECHANISM:-
 For suggested model for transmission, two mechanisms are
used.
 Both input shafts can be driven by a single motor using a
cross belt or by using separate motors one for each shaft.
 The rotation direction of both motors need to be opposite.
 While observing from front view; the left shaft needs to
rotate clockwise and right input shafts need to rotate anti
clockwise for forward motion at the output wheel.
 If a single motor is used direction of rotation is opposite
because of cross belt.

 Top view of model. 3D view of model

1. Section 1 is where first gearless transmission system is located.

2. Section 2 is position of second mechanism.
3. Section 3 is the mounting provision for motor. Based on the sense
of rotation of motor, motor shaft is coupled with either the first
transmission or the second. Motor can be moved left or right in the
provided setup to adjust the belt tightness.
ASSEMBLY:-

1. First the base plate is fitted with the supports under

it.
2. Then motor and shaft assembly saperately fixed to
the base plate.
3. Now comes the main part of the picture- the discs
with the L-shaped frames was coupled with the
shafts.
4. Finally the shaft assembly on the other side was also
been attached/.
5. Total assembly is done and some painting work is
done for good visual appearance.
6. Now finished product is obtained.
Result and Discussion:-
It is clear from the analysis that the stresses and
deformation on 4 elbow rod and hub mechanism is
more than 6- elbow rode mechanism. While the 8 rod
mechanism works satisfactorily but the mechanism
needs to be modified for the smoother operation.
From study of mechanism, it was observed
that any two pins must not lie on the same diameter.
If this happens then the two links motion overlap each
other because of this motion is interrupted. To keep
the angle between any two pins not equal to 180,
number of links must be odd and equally spaced along
p.c.d.
CONCLUSION:-
It has been concluded that the mechanism
with 6 elbow rods made up of mild steel
materials works perfectly. The mechanism
runs smoothly when it is kept at around 150
r.p.m. Also it can be concluded that as the
number of pins increases the smoother the
operation would be.
with future development in low friction
materials (graphene coating) and stronger
composite material, the efficiency and
capacity of this mechanism can be increased.
Future Applications:-
 PUMP:- Study of mechanism also revealed that that the output
half of the mechanism is similar to axial piston pump. From
the innermost point to the outer most point; the links move
outwards which reasembles a suction stroke and when moving
from outer most point to inner point it has delivery stroke.

Fig. Axial piston pump

 COMPRESSORS:- Compressors application is similar to pump,
only difference is that instead of along slot for outlet, a single
hole is given at the end of delivery stroke.
Using this has benefits of both compressors:
A. High delivery rate of rotatory compressors and
B. High compression ratios of piston compressors.
Future scope:-

 Working on stress concentration is recommended.

 Working on aluminium as a prime material is
recommended.
 Fatigue analysis is recommended.
 Analysis of mechanism with higher no. of pins is
recommended.
