Sample Problem
Design a gearbox to give 9 speed output from a
single input speed. The required speed range
is 180 rpm to 1800 rpm.
Given:
n =9
Nmin = 180 rpm
Nmax = 1800 rpm
Step - 1 “Calculation of Step ratio”
Nmax
= Ø n-1
Nmin
1800 = Ø 9-1
180
Ø = 1.333
Refer PSG Data Book P. No : 7.20 to check
whether, the calculated step ratio is a std.
Since its not a std. value, Lets find a multiples of
std. value come close to calculated step ratio
1.6 - Cannot be used
1.25 - Cannot be used
1.12 x- 1.12 1.12 = 1.254
1.06 -x 1.06 1.06 x 1.06
= 1.338
Multiples of 1.06 gives nearest value of 1.333
As 1.06 is multiplied 4 times we skip 4 speed
Hence std. Ø = 1.06 & R 40 series is selected
Step - 2 “Selection of Speeds”

The selected speeds are;

180,236,315,425,560,750,1000,1320,1800
No deed to check for deviation
Step - 3 “ Structural formula & Ray Diagram
”
The structural formula for 9 speed gear box is
3 (1) 3 (3)
Stage 1 - Single input is splitted into 3 speeds

Stage 2 - 3 input is splitted into 9 speeds
ie., each input is splitted into 3 speed
1800 Selected speeds are;
1320 180,236,315,425,560,75
1000
0,1000,1320,1800
750
Lets group the final
560
output speeds into
425 3, since the
315 structural formula
236
is
3 (1) 3 (3)
180
Stage 1 Stage 2
Lets select the input speed of stage 2. For that the input
speed should satisfy two following conditions.
• At Least one output speed should be greater than
input speed. (1 for 3 o/p and 2 for 4 o/p)
• The input and output must satisfy the following ratios
Nmin Nmax
≥ 0.25 ≤2
Ni/p Ni/p
Stage - 2
1800
Lest find input speed for the
1320 lowest output speed set.
• For the first condition, possible
1000 input speeds are 750 & 560.
• For the second condition,
750
560 Nmin 180

= = 0.32 ≥ 0.25
425 Ni/p 560
315 Nmax
= 1000 = 1.78 ≤2
236 Ni/p 560
180 The conditions are satisfied
Stage 1 Stage 2
Stage - 1
1800
Lest find input speed for the
1320 lowest output speed set.
• For the first condition, possible
1000 input speeds are 1338 & 1790
• For the second condition,
750
560 Nmin 560

= = 0.41 ≥ 0.25
425 Ni/p 1320
315 Nmax
= 1000 = 0.74 ≤2
236 Ni/p 1320

Step - 5 “ Calculation of number of
number of teeth in gears ”
• Start from the final stage
• First find the number of teeth for maximum
speed reduction pair.
• Assume the number of teeth in the driver
gear (It should be above 17)
• The sum of number of teeth in meshing gears
in a stage is always equal.
Stage - 2 “First Pair - Maximum Speed Reduction”
Assume number of teeth in driver = 20

z7 + z8 = z9+ z10 = 20 + 63 = 83 z12 = 63
z7 + z8 = 83 z7 = 0.76 z8
0.76 z8 + z8 = 83 z9 = 1.78 z10
z8 = 47.16 ≅ 48 z7 = 35
z9+ z10 = 83
1.78 z10+ z10 = 83
z10 = 29.79 ≅ 30 z9 = 53

Stage - 1
z1 + z2 = z3+ z4 = z5+ z6 z5 = 20
z1 + z2 = z3+ z4 = 20 + 42 = 68 z6 = 48
z3 + z4 = 68 z1 = 0.57 z2
0.76 z4 + z4 = 68 z3 = 0.74 z4
