SPUR GEARS PPT Flashcards
In precision machines, in which a definite velocity ratio is of importance (as in watch mechanism), the only positive drive is by
gears or toothed wheels
A __________ is also provided, when the distance between the driver and the follower is very small.
gear drive
According to the position of axes of the shafts.
* The axes of the two shafts between which the motion is to be transmitted, may be
(a) Parallel,
(b) Intersecting, and
(c) Non-intersecting and non-parallel.
These gears are called ___________ and the arrangement is
known as bevel gearing.
bevel gears
The bevel gears, like spur gears may also have their teeth
inclined to the face of the bevel, in which case they are known
as
helical bevel gears
The gears, according to the peripheral velocity of the gears, may be classified as :
(a) Low velocity,
(b) Medium velocity, and
(c) High velocity.
The gears having velocity less than 3 m/s are termed as
low velocity gears
Gears having velocity between 3 and 15 m/s are known as
medium velocity gears
If the velocity of gears is more than 15 m/s, then these are called
high speed gears
The gears, according to the type of gearing, may be classified as:
(a) External gearing,
(b) Internal gearing, and
(c) Rack and pinion
In ____________, the gears of the two shafts mesh externally with each other
external gearing
The larger of these two wheels is called __________ and the smaller wheel is called pinion.
spur wheel or gear
The larger of these two wheels is called spur wheel or gear and the smaller wheel is called ________.
pinion
In _____________, the gears of the two shafts mesh internally with each other as shown.
internal gearing
The larger of these two wheels is called ____________ and
the smaller wheel is called pinion. In an internal gearing, the motion of the wheels is always the same.
annular wheel
The straight line gear is called _______ and the circular wheel is
called _______.
rack and pinion
The teeth on the gear surface may be
(a) Straight,
(b) Inclined, and
(c) Curved.
are toothed wheels whose teeth are straight and parallel to the shaft axis. They are used to transmit motion and power between parallel shafts
Spur Gears
It is an imaginary circle which by pure rolling action, would give the same motion as the actual gear.
Pitch circle
It is the diameter of the pitch circle. The size of the gear is usually specified by the ____________. It is also called as pitch diameter.
Pitch circle diameter
It is a common point of contact between two pitch circles.
Pitch point
It is the angle between the common normal to two gear teeth at the point of contact and the common tangent at the pitch point. It is usually denoted by ϕ. The standard pressure angles are 14 1/2° and 20°.
Pressure angle or angle of obliquity
It is the radial distance of a tooth from the pitch circle to the top of the tooth.
Addendum
It is the radial distance of a tooth from the pitch circle to the bottom of the tooth.
Dedendum
It is the circle drawn through the top of the teeth and is
concentric with the pitch circle.
Addendum circle
It is the circle drawn through the bottom of the teeth. It is
also called root circle.
Dedendum circle
It is the distance measured on the circumference of the pitch
circle from a point of one tooth to the corresponding point on the next tooth.
Circular pitch
