Module 1 - Lesson 1

This document provides formulas and examples for calculating properties of involute gear teeth. It defines key terms like module, pitch circle diameter, number of teeth. Example 1 asks the reader to calculate (a) the number of teeth on each gear, (b) the pitch circle diameter of each gear, (c) the outside diameter of each gear, and (d) the circular pitch, given the center distance, velocity ratio, and module. The document demonstrates using simultaneous equations and the appropriate formulas to solve these example problems step-by-step. It also provides a self-exercise and homework for readers to practice these calculations.

Different terms used with gear teeth
Formulae – Module
• 
• m = Module
• PCD = Pitch Circle Diameter
• T = Number of Teeth
PCD

m T
Formulae – Centre Distance between shafts (C)
• 
• Usually will need to do simultaneous equations to solve for T1 and T2
Formulae – Circular Pitch (CP)
• 
• CP = Circular Pitch
• m = Module
CP

Formulae – Addendum (α)
• 
• m = Module
Formulae – Dedendum (d)

𝑑=1,25×𝑚

Formulae – Outside Diameter
• 
• m = module
• T = Number of teeth
Formulae – Velocity ratio of gears (VR)
•• Two
  gears in mesh with no slip –
circumferential velocities are equal

• If T1 is the pinion and T2 is the gear


wheel:

•
• When two gears are in mesh, they turn in the opposite direction.
• An idler gear has the following effect on the gear train only:

Formulae – Idler Gears


• It causes the driven gear to turn in the same direction as the
driving gear.
• It allows the center distance of the input and output shafts to be
altered.
• IT HAS NO EFFECT ON THE SPEED OF THE DRIVEN GEAR
Formulae – Compound gear trains
•  Two gears are keyed to a common shaft to
obtain large speed ratios.
EXAMPLE 1 – LET US READ
• The center distance between two geared shafts is exactly 90 mm and the
velocity ratio is 3:2. Assume that the gear train has a module of 4 mm.
