Problem No. 1 (5 points)
Two 8P gears are to be mounted on a center distance of 16 in. The speed ratio is 7: 9.
Find the number of teeth in each gear. Ans. 112 and 144
Problem No. 2 (5 points)
A 16-tooth module 4 pinion meshes with a 64-tooth gear. Find the diametral pitch.
Ans. 6.35
Problem No. 3 (5 points)
A 20- tooth 5P pinion meshes with a 63-tooth gear. Find the value of the standard
center distance.
Problem No. 4 (25 points)
A 21-tooth spur pinion mates with a 28-tooth gear. The diametral pitch is 3 teeth/in
and the pressure angle is 20◦. Find and tabulate the following results: the addendum,
dedendum, clearance, circular pitch, tooth thickness, space width, backlash, whole depth,
working depth, pitch circle diameters, addendum circle diameters, dedendum circle
diameters and base-circle diameters. Also determine whether there is interference if
standard full depth teeth are used. What is the contact ratio avoiding interference? Note:
Use Backlash = 0.035/Pitch
