1. A pair of straight teeth spur gears is to transmit 20 kW when the pinion rotates
at 300 r.p.m. The velocity ratio is 1: 3. The allowable static stresses for the pinion
and gear materials are 120 MPa and 100 MPa respectively. The pinion has 15 teeth
and its face width is 14 times the module.
Determine:
a) Module
b) Face width
c) Pitch circle diameters of both the pinion and the gear from the standpoint of
strength only, taking into consideration the effect of the dynamic loading.

5. Design a spur gear drive required to transmit 45 kW at a pinion speed of 800 r.p.m.
The velocity ratio is 3.5: 1. The teeth are 20° full-depth involute with 18 teeth on the
pinion. Both the pinion and gear are made of steel with a maximum safe static stress
of 180 MPa. Assume a safe stress of 40 MPa for the material of the shaft and key.
6. Design and draw a spur gear drive transmitting 30 kW at 400 r.p.m. to another shaft
running approximately at 100 r.p.m. The load is steady and continuous. The
materials for the pinion and gear are cast steel and cast iron respectively. Take
module as 10 mm. Also check the design for dynamic load and wear.
