Figure.6: Universal joint or Hook's joint.

Transcribed Image Text:Problem 4:
Gearbox and compound train gear system are widely used in power transmission systems to change input torques
and revulsions. Your task in a company that manufactures compound gear system box is to determine the
necessary parameters to obtain a required output and securely mounting the gearbox. If the compound gearbox
shown in Figure.5 has the following design specifications:
B
D
' F
OUTPUT
INPUT
T3
A
T2
Figure.5: Compound gear train system (left), Gearbox securely mounted by clamps (Right)
Gear A has 25 teeth, Gear B has 150 teeth, Gear C has 60 teeth, Gear D 120 teeth, Gear E has 15 teeth
and Gear F has 200 teeth.
Input power and speed, respectively, 20 kW and 1500 rpm (clockwise).
Your manger asked you the perform the following analysis steps:
1. Determine the velocity ratio/ gear ratio of compound gear system.
2. Calculate the output torque and determine its direction.
3. Find the required total/hold torque to securely mount the gearbox.
4. Explain the use of compound gear instead of a simple gear train (no more than 50 words).
5. Consider that rotational motion must be translated from the output gear shaft to another shaft making
60° with first shaft. Based on Figure.6, find the required conditions for a constant velocity ratio
between two joined shafts.
