Well, the answer is yes, you do. Gears are so important for machines that they are almost their symbol: Just the sight of a gear makes you think machinery. In this chapter, you will enter the amazing world of gears and discover the powerful qualities they offer, trans- forming one force into another almost magically.We’ll guide you through some new concepts—velocity, force, torque, friction—as well as some simple math to lay the foundations that will give you the most from the machinery.The concepts are not as complex as you might think. For instance, the chapter will help you see the parallels between gears and simple levers. We invite you once again to experiment with the real things. Prepare some gears, beams, and axles to replicate the simple setups of this chapter. No descrip- tion or explanation can replace what you learn through hands-on experience. Counting Teeth A single gear wheel alone is not very useful—in fact, it is not useful at all, unless you have in mind a different usage from what it was conceived for! So, for a mean- ingful discussion, we need at least two gears.

INTRODUCTION A differential is a gear train with three shafts that has the property that the rotational speed of one shaft is the average of the speeds of the others, or a fixed multiple of that average. In automobiles, the differential allows the outer drive wheel to rotate faster than the inner drive wheel during a turn. This is necessary when the vehicle turns, making the wheel that is travelling around the outside of the turning curve roll farther and faster than the other. The average of the rotational speed of the two driving wheels equals the input rotational speed of the drive shaft.

    IJIRST –International Journal for Innovative Research in Science & Technology| Volume 1 | Issue 12 | May 2015 ISSN (online): 2349-6010 Evaluation on Failure Analysis of an Automobile Differential Pinion Assembly Ronak P Panchal Pratik B. Umrigar M.E. Student Department of Automobile Engineering Department of I.C. Engine & Automobile GTU, Mahesana, India GTU, Mahesana, India Abstract Bevel gears have become a subject to research interest because the dynamicload, attention of the noise level during operation and demand for lighter and smaller. In such type of gears there is a problems of failures contact at meshing the teeths. This can be avoided or minimized by proper method analysis and modification of the different gear parameters. This thesis presents characteristics of a bevel gear in dynamic condition involving meshing stiffness and other stresses produce. The purpose of this thesis is by using numerical approach to develop theoretical model of bevel gear and to determine the effect of meshing gear tooth stresses by taking material case hardened alloy steel (15Ni4Cr1) . To estimate the meshing stiffness, three-dimensional solid models for different number of teeth are generated by Solid works and the numerical solution is done in Ansys which is a finite element analysis. Keywords: Design of Spiral Bevel Gear, Analysis of Spiral Bevel Gear _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION Gear is a mechanical device used in transmission systems that allows rotational force to be transferred to another gears . The gear teeth allow force to be fully transmitted without slip and depending on the configuration can transmit forces at different speeds, torques, and even in a different directions.

  • Ring Gear and Pinion Tooth Pattern Interpretation
    RING GEAR AND PINION TOOTH PATTERN INTERPRETATION The final pinion position will be verified by using the GEAR CONTACT PATTERN METHOD described as follows: The TOE of the gear is the portion of the tooth surface at the end towards the center. The HEEL of the gear tooth is the portion of the tooth surface at the outer-end. The TOP LAND of a gear tooth is the surface of the top of the tooth. Every gear has a characteristic pattern. RING GEAR TOOTH PROFILE There are two types of gears which are determined by the machining method. One is manufactured by FACE HOBBING, while the other one is manufactured by FACE MILLING. You must first determine the type of gear that you have in order to know which gear pattern chart to use as described in this bulletin. To do this, notice the depth of the ring gear tooth - dimension "A" and "B". If the gear was manufactured using the FACE HOBBING method, both "A" and "B" will be of equal depth. If the gear was manufactured using the FACE MILLING method, "A" will be larger than "B". Once the type of ring gear machining method has been identified, refer to the proper gear pattern chart. FACE HOBBING FACE MILLING NOTE: WHEN MAKING CHANGES, NOTE THAT TWO VARIABLES ARE INVOLVED. EXAMPLE: IF YOU HAVE THE BACKLASH SET CORRECTLY TO THE SPECIFICATION AND YOU CHANGE THE PINION POSITION SHIM, YOU MAY HAVE TO READJUST THE BACKLASH TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION BEFORE CHECKING THE PATTERN.

  • Basic Gear Systems
    Basic Gear Systems A number of gears connected together is called a “Gear Train”. The gear train is another mechanism for transmitting rotary motion and torque. Unlike a belt and pulley, or chain and sprocket, no linking device (belt or chain) is required. Gears have teeth which interlock (or mesh) directly with one another. Advantages The main advantages of gear train transmission systems are that because the teeth on any gear intermesh with the next gear in the train, the gears can't slip. (An exact ratio is maintained.) Large forces can be transmitted. The number of turns a gear makes can be easily controlled. High ratios between the input and the output are easily possible. Disadvantages The main disadvantage of a gear system is it usually needs a lubrication system to reduce wear to the teeth. Oil or grease is used to reduce friction and heat caused by the teeth rubbing together. Gear systems to increase and decrease rotational velocity Gears are used to increase or decrease the speed or power of rotary motion. The measure of how much the speed or power is changed by a gear train is called the gear ratio (velocity ratio). This is equal to the number of teeth on the driver gear divided by the number of teeth on the driven gear. To decrease the speed of the output the driver gear is smaller than the driven gear. (This will reduce the speed but increase the “torque”.) This diagram shows a small gear (A) driving a larger gear (B). Because there are more teeth on the driven gear there is a reduction in output speed.

INC: AUTO-MESHING RACK AND PINION GEAR Auto‐meshing rack and pinion gear In a mechanical system with a rack and pinion, typically the rack and pinion are always engaged with each other but, in some instances, it is necessary to have the pinion gear disengage and engage with the rack. When this happens, the rack and gear need to mesh properly each time that they engage. If the gears do not properly mesh, then the system can lockup, gears can break, or other similar problems occur. One example of this is in a large format printer with a user replaceable printhead cleaner. A rack can be permanently placed in the printer (Figure 1), and then the printhead cleaner contain moving parts driven by the rack. The moving parts could be caps, spitrollers, webwipes, etc. An example of gears locking is shown in Figure 2.

  • Design and Fabrication of Shaft Drive for Two Wheelers
    International OPEN ACCESS Journal Of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) Design and Fabrication of Shaft Drive for two Wheelers K.Vinoth Kumar1, Kari Naga Nikhil2, Kakollu Manoj Kumar3, Kaza Sai Sravan4, K.Subha Theja5 1,2,3,4,5Student, Department Of Mechanical Engineering R.M.K College Of Engineering & Technology, Thiruvallur , India 1. Abstract 1.1 Role Of Automobile In Our Day To Day Life In modern world the living status were developed and developing more equipped. The automobile takes a great part in the development, since it plays a major key in daily life while automobile is concern two wheeler i.e.(motor cycles and bike) it plays very important role because it saves the time of traveller by reaching the target place very faster. Although it saves the time, it makes lots of noise by the chain drive and also makes greasy over the parts of the bike by the chain drive lubrication. It leads to lot of maintenance cost. So by keeping maintenance as the main concept in our mind we had planned to do this project. 1.2 Proposed Method A shaft-driven two wheeler is a two wheeler that uses a drive shaft instead of a chain to transmit power from the pedals to the wheel arrangement. Shaft drives were introduced over a century ago, but were mostly supplanted by chain-driven two wheelers due to the gear ranges possible with sprockets and derailleur. Recently, due to advancements in internal gear technology, a small number of modern shaft-driven two wheelers have been introduced. Shaft-driven bikes have a large bevel gear where a conventional bike would have its chain ring.
