Unit 3 Transmission of Gears * * 3.1 Introduction 3.2 Advantages and Disadvantages 3.3 Type of Gears 3.4 Gear Failures and Design Criteria Gears are the most widely used method of transmitting power from one shaft to another or to a rack which translates in a straight line. Gears have the capacities of transmitting several ten thousand kilowatts (kW) of powers and rotating at 150 meters per second (m/s) of pitch-line speed. The maximum pitch-line speed that gears can achieve is approximately 300m/s. The maximum outside diameters may be made above 10 meters (m) and the maximum single transmission ratio may be above 8. Normally, the small gear of the two mating gears is called the pinion and the large one is referred to as the gear, regardless of which is the driver and which is the follower.1 When the pinion is on the driving shaft, the gear pair acts as a speed reducer; when the gear drives, the gear pair is a speed increaser. 3.1 Introduction Back→ 3.2 Advantages and Disadvantages of Gears special machine tools are needed to manufacture the gears great quality class of gears is required they cost much the vibration and noise will occur when gears have low precisions gears cannot be used in the case of large center distance. 3.2.2 Disadvantages high efficiency high reliability high service life constant transmission ratio compactness having a large range of power and speed transmitted. 3.2.1 Advantages Back→ 3.3 Type of Gears ●There are four main types of gears: spur, helical, worm, and bevel Spur : A gear having tooth elements that are straight and parallel to its axis is known as a spur gear. A spur pair can be used to connect parallel shafts only. Parallel shafts, however, can also be connected by gears of another type. Spur gears are the simplest and least expensive type of gear; also, spur-gear definitions are usually applicable to other types. (b) Helical: Helical gears offer a refinement over spur gears.
