Problem 13-1
A 17-tooth spur pinion has a diametral pitch of 8
teeth/in, runs at 1120 rev/min, and drives a gear at a
speed of 544 rev/min.
Find the number of teeth on the gear and the
theoretical center-to-center distance.
Solution
dp = Np/P = 17/8 = 2.125 in
dG= n2/n3 dp = 1120/544 (2.125 in) = 4.375 in
NG = PdG = 8 (4.375) = 35 teeth

Problem 13-2
A 15-tooth spur pinion has a module of 3mm and runs at
a speed of 1600 rev/min. The driven gear has 60 teeth.
Find the speed of the driven gear, the circular pitch,
and the theoretical center-to-center distance.
Solution
nG = 1600 (15/60) = 400 rev/min
p = π n = 3π mm

Problem 13-3
A spur gearset has a module of 4mm and a velocity
ratio of 2.80. The pinion has 20 teeth.
Find the number of teeth on the driven gear, the pitch
diameter, and the theoretical center-to-center
distance.
Solution
NG= Np (2.80) = 20(2.80) = 56 teeth
dG = NG m = (56)(4) = 224 mm
dP = Np m = (20)(4) = 80 mm

and a normal module of 3 mm.
Find:
a) The normal, transverse, and axial circular pitches.
b) The transverse module and the transverse
pressure angle.
c) The pitch diameters of the two gears.

Problem 13-14
The double reduction helical gearset shown in the
Figure is driven through shaft a at a speed of 900
rev/min. Gear 2 and 3 have a normal module (mn) of 3
mm, a 30° helix angle, and normal pressure angle (Ψ) of
20°. The second pair of gears in the train, gears 4 and
5, have a normal module (nm) of 2 mm, 25°helix angle,
and a normal pressure angle (Ψ) of 20°. The tooth
numbers are: N2 = 14, N3= 54, N4=16, N5=36.

Problem 13-22
Tooth numbers for the gear train shown in the figure
are N2= 12, N3=16, and N4= 12. How many teeth must
internal gear 5 have?
Suppose gear 5 is fixed. What is the speed of the
arm if shaft a rotates counterclockwise at 320
rev/min?

Suppose gear 5 is fixed. What is the speed of the
arm if shaft a rotates counterclockwise at 320
rev/min?
Lets gear 2 be first, nF = n2 = 320 rev/min
Lets gear 5 be last, nL= n5 = 0 rev/min.
