1 (b) A spur gear pair made of plain carbon steel 55C8 (σut=720 N/mm2 and E=210 Gpa) is required to transmit 7.5 kw power from an electric motor running at 1440 rpm to a machine running at 370 rpm. The tooth system is 20° full depth involute and no. of teeth on pinion are as minimum as possible. The service factor and load concentration factor are 1.25 and 1.2 respectively. The factor of safety required is 1.25 to 1.5. The face width is twelve times the module. The gears are to be machined to meet the specifications of grade 7. Design the gear pair by using the velocity factor Kv = 3/ (3+v) and Buckingham's equation for dynamic load. Suggest the case hardness for gear pair. Use the following relations. \[ y=0.484 - \dfrac {0.287}{z} , \ \ F_a = \dfrac {21v (bc +F_{\max})}{21v + \sqrt{bc + F_{\max}}}N, \ c=111e \left [ \dfrac {E_p E_8}{E_p + E_8} \right ] N/mm \\ K=0.16 \left [ \dfrac {BHN}{100} \right ]^2 N/mm^2, \ For \ grade \ 7 \ e=11+0.9 (m+0.25 \sqrt{ d})\mu m \]
