1 (a) A pair of spur gear with 20° full depth involutes teeth needs to be designed. Input shaft rotates at 800 rpm and receives 6 kW power. Speed reductions of output shaft by 5 times. Pinion and gear are made of steel with ? ut = 450 N/ mm2 service factor is 1.3. The gears are machined to accuracy of grade 10. Assume a pitch line velocity of 3.6 m/s and FOS is 2. Estimate the module of the gear teeth. Determine static and dynamic load from Spott's equation. Specify the surface hardness of gear teeth assuming that strength in bending is the same as strength in wear.
