Example 13–1

A gearset consists of a 16-tooth pinion driving a

40-tooth gear. The diametral pitch is 2, and the

addendum and dedendum are 1/P and 1.25/P,

respectively. The gears are cut using a pressure

angle of 20°.

a. Compute the circular pitch, the center

distance, and the radii of the base circles.

b. In mounting these gears, the center distance

was incorrectly made ¼ in larger. Compute the

new values of the pressure angle and the

pitch-circle diameters.

Terminology of bevel

Pitch of bevel gears is

measured at the large

end of tooth

Both the circular pitch

and the pitch diameter

are calculated in the

same manner as for

spur gears

13–9 Straight Bevel Gears

Shape of the teeth,

when projected on back

cone, is the same as in

a spur gear having a

radius equal to the

back-cone distance rb.

this imaginary gear is

13–10 Parallel Helical Gears

Used to transmit motion between parallel shafts

Helix angle is the same on each gear, one gear must

have a RH helix and the other a LH helix.

The shape of the tooth is an involute helicoid (Fig. 13–

21).

line contact extending

all the way across face

of tooth

Initial contact of teeth is a point

that extends into a line as teeth

come into more engagement.

line of contact is parallel

to axis of rotation

line is diagonal across face of

tooth.

gradual engagement of teeth and

smooth transfer of load from one

tooth to another that gives helical

gears the ability to transmit

heavy loads at high speeds.

Helical Gears Figure 13–23

The oblique plane ab cuts out

an arc having a radius of

curvature of R.

when ψ = 0, radius of

curvature is R = D/2.

If ψ slowly increases from

zero to 90◦, R begins at a

value of D/2 and increases

until, when ψ = 90°, R = ∞.

R = apparent pitch radius of a

helical gear tooth when viewed in

direction of the tooth elements.

A gear of same pitch and with

radius R will have a greater

number of teeth, because of

increased radius.

In helical-gear terminology this is

called the virtual number of teeth.

of 20°, a helix angle of 25°, and a transverse

diametral pitch of 6 teeth/in, and has 18 teeth.

a. The pitch diameter

b. Transverse, normal, and axial pitches

c. The normal diametral pitch

Helix angle on worm is

large, and that on gear

very small.

For a 90° shaft angle,

lead angle λ on worm =

helix angle ψG on gear

mounting distances, the location of all bearings, and the

average pitch radii of the pinion and gear are shown in the

figure. For simplicity, the teeth have been replaced by pitch

cones. Bearings A and C should take the thrust loads. Find

diametral pitch of 12 teeth/in. The hand of the helix is

shown in the figure. Make a three-dimensional sketch of the

motor shaft and pinion, and show the forces acting on the

pinion and the bearing reactions at A and B. The thrust

should be taken out at A.
