Title: Gear Trains Sheet No.: 6
1- Design a compound, spur gear train for a ratio of 180:1. The module of the gears is m = 9. Specify
pitch diameters and numbers of teeth. Sketch the train to scale.
2- Design a compound, spur gear train for a ratio of 250:1. The module of the gears is m = 9. Specify
pitch diameters and numbers of teeth. Sketch the train to scale.
3- The Figure shows diagrammatically a compound epicyclic
gear train. Wheels A , D and E are free to rotate
independently on spindle O, while B and C are compound
and rotate together on spindle P, on the end of arm OP. All
the teeth on different wheels have the same module. A has
12 teeth, B has 30 teeth and C has 14 teeth cut externally.
- Find the number of teeth on wheels D and E.
- If the wheel A is driven clockwise at 1 r.p.s. while D is driven
counter clockwise at 5 r.p.s., determine the magnitude and
direction of the angular velocities of arm OP and wheel E.
- If the wheel A is driven clockwise at 1 r.p.s. while D is fixed, determine the magnitude and direction of
the angular velocities of arm OP and wheel E.
4- In the epicyclic gear train, as shown in Figure, the
driving gear A rotating in clockwise direction has 14
teeth, the fixed annular gear C has 100 teeth and gear D
has 12 teeth. All the gears have the same module (you
can get the number of teeth for gears B and E).
- If gear A is rotating at 1200 r.p.m, find the speed and
direction of rotation of gear E.
- If gear A is rotating at 1200 r.p.m and gear C is unfixed and
rotating at 1000 r.p.m in the counter clockwise direction,
find the speed and direction of rotation of gear E.

N1 = 36 external gear teeth, gear 2 has N2 = 40 external
gear teeth, and the gear 2’ has N2’ = 21 external gear
teeth. Gears 2 and 2' are fixed on the same shaft, CC'.

N3' = 24 external gear teeth. Gears 3 and 3' are fixed
on the same shaft, EE'. The planet gear 4 has N4 = 18
external gear teeth, and the planet gear 5 has N5 = 14
external gear teeth. Gear 1 rotates with a constant
input angular speed n1 = 320 rpm. The module of the
gears is m = 30 mm. The pressure angle of the gears is
20°. Find the angular velocity of the output planet arm

gear teeth, and gear 5 has N5 = 24 external gear teeth. Gear

of the gears is 20°. (a) Find the angular velocity of the
output ring gear 6, ω6.

figure. It consists of an annulus gear A which is fixed, the
compound gear (or planet gear) B-C, the sun gear D and the
arm H. The sun gear D is co-axial with the annulus gear A
and the arm but independent of them. The annulus gear A
meshes with the gear B and the sun gear D meshes with the
gear C.
The gear A has 72 internal teeth, The gear C has 16 external
teeth, and the gear D has 36 external teeth. The compound
gear B-C and D are carried on an arm H which rotates about
the centre of A at 18 r.p.m. counter clock wise. If the gear A
is fixed, determine the speed of gears D and the compound
gear B-C.
