A pair of helical gears are machined with a hob. The hob has a 20 degree pressure angle and machines circular pitch of 0.55 inch/tooth on a spur gear. Two gears are machined, the pinion has 18 teeth and the gear has 36 teeth. The measured transverse diametral pitch on the pinion is 5 inch/tooth. The pinion transmits 10 hp at 1,000 rpm. Calculate the center distance of the gearset, in inches

A pair of helical gears are machined with a hob.
The hob has a 20 degree pressure angle and machines circular pitch of 0.55
inch/tooth on a spur gear.
Two gears are machined, the pinion has 18 teeth and the gear has 36 teeth. The
measured transverse diametral pitch on the pinion is 5 inch/tooth.
The pinion transmits 10 hp at 1,000 rpm.
Calculate the center distance of the gearset, in inches
