Arc of contact: Path traced by a point on the pitch circle from
the beginning to the end of the engagement of a given pair of
teeth. It consists of two parts.
Arc of approach: Portion of the path of contact from the
beginning of engagement to the pitch point.
Arc of recess: Portion of the path of contact from the pitch point
to the end of the engagement of a pair of teeth.

Pressure Angle or Angle of Obliquity:
Angle between common normal to two gear teeth at the point
of contact (line of contact) and the common tangent at the
pitch point. Standard values include 14.5, 20 and 25degrees.
![Page 11: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Backlash:
It is the difference between tooth space and the tooth thickness as measured
along pitch circle. Theoretically backlash should be zero. But in actual practice
some backlash must be allowed to prevent jamming of the teeth due to the tooth
errors and thermal expansion.
![Page 12: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Module (m): Pitch diameter divided by number of teeth. The
pitch diameter is usually specified in inches or millimeters;
It is a measure of the tooth strength. Higher the module
bigger the size of the gear. More important, higher the
module, wider the tooth at the base and larger the height of
the tooth.
![Page 13: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Main parameters to be designed:
Center Distance
Module
Face width
Let Mt be the torque transmitted by the pinion
Normal force on the tooth Fn = Torque / lever arm
Radius of the base circle = ½ d1 cos α
1
![Page 14: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Diameter d1 can be expressed in terms of center distance ‘a’ as
Substituting the value of d1 in Eq. 1
![Page 15: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Therefore, Fn is inversely proportional to the centre
distance.
As center distance decreases the normal force will
increase and hence the surface compressive stress
increases.
Therefore the centre distance is limited by the
permissible surface compressive stress of the
material of the pinion.
![Page 16: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
IMPORTANT POINTS TO BE NOTED:
Minimum centre distance depends upon the surface compressive strength
of the material
So induced surface compressive stress < Design surface compressive
strength of the material
Minimum module depends upon the bending strength
So induced bending stress < Design bending strength of the material
![Page 17: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Design surface compressive strength [σc]
Surface strength is proportional to the hardness of thesurface.
σc α HB or RC
Therefore,
σC = CB × HB N/cm2
= CR × RC N/cm2
CB and CR are constants depending on the materialand heat treatment.
![Page 18: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Also the design compressive strength depends on load conditions.Hence correction factor is introduced.
Design surface compressive strength
[σC ] = CB HB Kcl in N/cm2
[σC] = CR HRC Kcl in N/cm2
Where Kcl is the life factor for surface compressive strength.
Kcl = ퟏퟎퟕ
푵Where N – number of fatigue cycles the pinion teeth has undergonein its life period of T hours.
Number of fatigue cycles per hour = 60 n
Number of cycles in life period N = 60 n T

Design Bending Stress [σb]
It depends on endurance limit, stress concentration factor at the root and lifefactor for bending.
[σb] = 흈 ퟏ 풌풃풍풏풌흈
For gears having both directions of rotation
[σb] = 흈 ퟏ 풌풃풍풏풌흈
× 1.4 For gears having one direction of rotation only
흈 ퟏ = endurance limit stress in bending
풌풃풍 = life factor in bending
풌흈 = stress concentration of fillet at the root
n = factor of safety

Gear materials
Commonly used materials cast iron and steel
For large power transmission and reduction in size Alloy steel ofNickel, chromium & vanadium (with proper heat treatment to obtainsufficient surface strength)
For corrosive environment Brass and bronze
Non metallic materials Laminated fabric, Bakelite and mica (to reducenoise)
![Page 21: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Gear Failures
Teeth breakage: due to fatigue
Pitting: hard and smooth working surfaces of the teeth reduce the dangerof pitting
Surface abrasion: due to sliding of the teeth
Seizure: surface of the teeth mesh so tightly together causes particles ofsofter material to break away from the teeth surface and groove it.
![Page 22: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Law of gearing
The common normal to the tooth profile at the point of contact should
always pass through a fixed point, in order to obtain a constant
velocity ratio.
Only involute and cycloidal curves satisfies the fundamental law of
gearing.
![Page 23: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Helical Gears and Herringbone Gears
They have teeth cut in the form of helix on their pitch cylinders. Teeth are not
parallel to the axis of rotation.
More than one pair of teeth are in engagement. Runs smoothly because of the
gradual engagement of teeth. Higher peripheral speeds are permissible in
helical gears.
![Page 25: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Limitation: Axial thrust
By providing another helical gear of opposite hand, the axial thrust can be
balanced. They are called as double helical or herringbone gears.
Helix angle is helical gears are in between 8° and 25°
![Page 26: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Axial pitch = π m , where m is the axial module
Normal pitch = π mn , where mn is the normal module
Cos β = π mn / π m
Therefore,
Cos β = mn / m

Direction of shaft’s rotation can be changed by means of bevel
gears. Usually two shafts are arranged at an angle of 90°. But the
other angles are also possible.

Terminology of bevel gears
Pitch cone: Imaginary cone that the surface of which contains the pitch lines of all
teeth in the bevel gear.
Cone center: The apex of the pitch cone is called cone center.
Cone distance: Length of the pitch cone element also called as pitch cone radius.
Pitch angle: Angle that the pitch line makes with the axis of the gear is called the
pitch angle.
Addendum angle: Angle subtended by the addendum at the cone center.
Face angle: Angle subtended by the face of the tooth at the cone center.
![Page 34: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Transverse module mt : It is based on the pitch circle diameter at the outer portion.
Average module mav : It is based on pitch circle diameter at the centers of the teeth.

Miter Gear
When two identical gears are mounted on
shafts, that are intersecting at right angles,
then they are called as Miter gears.
Pitch angles of pinion and gear of Miter
gears are same and each is equal to 45°.
Pinion and gear of Miter gears rotate at
same speed.
![Page 36: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Crown Gear
In a pair of bevel gear, when one of the gear has a pitch
angle of 90°, then that gear is called as crown gear.
They are intersecting at an angle that is more than 90°.
![Page 37: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Internal Bevel gear
When the teeth of a bevel gear are cut inside the pitch cone,
then it is called as internal bevel gear.
In this case the pitch angle of the internal gear is more than 90°
and the apex point is on the backside of the teeth on the gear.
![Page 38: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Skew bevel gear: When two straight bevel gears are mounted on
shafts, which are non parallel and non intersecting, then they are
called as skew bevel gears

Hypoid Bevel Gear
They are similar to spiral bevel gears that are mounted on
shafts, which are non-parallel and non-intersecting.

Design of worm and worm wheel
Worm(Driver)
Worm wheel(Driven)
Worm always drives the worm wheel. It is a self locking drive. Reversible
direction of power transmission is not possible.
Higher speed reduction and more torque at the output
is possible through
worm drive.
![Page 43: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Consider a single start worm and a 20 teeth worm gear will reduce the speed by the ratio of 20:1.
The gear ratio of a worm gear is
i = 푵풐 풐풇 풕풆풆풕풉 풐풏 풘풐풓풎 풘풉풆풆풍푵풐 풐풇 풔풕풂풓풕 풐풏 풘풐풓풎
The worm acts as a single toothed gear so the ratio is;i = ퟐퟎ
ퟏ
Gear Ratio = 20:1(Rotary velocity is reduced by 20:1)
If this speed reduction is achieved by spur gears, then a gear of 12 teeth (the
smallest size permissible) would have to be matched with a 240 tooth gear to
achieve the same ratio of 20:1.
Therefore according to the physical size of the 240 tooth gear to that of the 20
tooth gear, the worm arrangement is considerably smaller in volume.
![Page 44: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Applications
![Page 45: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Self-locking Worm Gear The worm always acts as a driving gear and the spur gear as a driven gear- vice
versa is not possible. If you try to run it in opposite direction, it will lockautomatically.
A worm and gear will be self-locking depends on the lead angle, the pressure angle,and the coefficient of friction;
If the tangent of the lead angle of the worm gear is less than the coefficient offriction between the worm and the gear, then the worm gear train should be a self-locking type.
The self-locking worm gear USED for the
applications where loading against the
gravitational force is required.
This is because the angle on the worm is soshallow that when the gear tries to spin it,the friction between the gear and the wormholds the worm in place.
![Page 46: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Losses in worm gears are high, they need costly materials like
bronze and the manufacturing cost is high.
Power transmission between worm and worm wheel happens
through sliding. Therefore, the materials used should have low
coefficient of friction.
Seizure and wear are the two major failures in worm gear drive.
Proper lubrication and cooling surfaces should be provided to limit
the operating temperature between 60° and 70°C.
![Page 47: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Static load carrying capacity: The static load which corresponds to a total
permanent deformation of balls and races, at the most heavily stressed
point of contact, equal to 0.0001 of the ball diameter. [Load acting on the
bearing when the shaft is stationary]

Dynamic load carrying capacity: (fatigue life of the bearing)
Life of an individual bearing is defined as the number of revolutions
which the bearing runs before the first evidence of fatigue crack in
balls and races.
The dynamic load carrying capacity of a bearing is defined as the
radial load in radial bearings that can be carried for a minimum life
of one million revolutions.
The minimum life in this definition is the L10 life, which 90% of the
bearings will reach or exceed before fatigue failure.

Equivalent bearing load [P]:
Two components of load acting on the bearing single hypothetical load
The equivalent dynamic load is defined as the constant radial load in radial
bearings (or thrust load in thrust bearings), which if applied to the bearing would
give same life as that which the bearing will attain under actual condition of forces.

Load factor in bearings:
Load factors are used in applications involving gear, chain and belt drives.
Gear drives additional dynamic load due to inaccuracies of the toothprofile and the elastic deformation of the teeth.
Chain and belt drives additional dynamic load due to vibrations
Bearing failure – causes and remedies
breakage of parts like races and cages
crushing of balls due to misalignment leads to overload
failure of a cage due to centrifugal force acting on balls
surface wear abrasive wear, corrosive wear, pitting, scoring (breakagelubrication film leads to excessive heat in the contact surfaces)

Journal Bearing ( Hydrodynamic bearing)
Journal bearing is a sliding contact bearing working on hydrodynamic lubrication
and which supports the load in radial direction. The portion of the shaft inside the
bearing is called journal and hence the name ‘Journal bearing’
![Page 60: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Since the pressure is created within
the system due to rotation of the
shaft, this type of bearing is known
as ‘self acting bearing’.

Hydrostatic bearing: In a system of lubrication, load supporting fluid film,
separating the two surfaces is created by an external source, like pump,
supplying sufficient fluid under pressure. This is also called as externally
pressurized bearings.
Advantages: High load carrying capacity even at low speeds, no starting
friction, no rubbing action at any operating speed or load
![Page 63: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)

The factor ZN / p is termed as bearing characteristic number andis a dimensionless number
![Page 65: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

Between Q and R Partial metal to metal contact
(The viscosity (Z) or the speed (N) are so low, or the pressure ( p) is sogreat that their combination ZN / p will reduce the film thickness)
Between R and S Thin film or boundary lubrication or imperfectlubrication
(This is the region where the viscosity of the lubricant ceases to be ameasure of friction characteristics but the oiliness of the lubricant iseffective in preventing complete metal to metal contact and seizure of theparts)
Between P and Q Stable operating conditions(Since from any point of stability, a decrease in viscosity (Z) will reduce ZN/ p. This will result in a decrease in coefficient of friction (μ) followed by alowering of bearing temperature that will raise the viscosity (Z ))
![Page 67: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Bearing should not be operated at ‘K’ (Bearing modulus).
Because, a slight decrease in speed or slight increase in pressure willbreak the oil film and make the journal to operate with metal to metalcontact. This will result in high friction, wear and heating.
In order to prevent such conditions, the bearing should be designed fora value of ZN / p at least three times the minimum value of bearingmodulus (K). If the bearing is subjected to large fluctuations of load andheavy impacts, the value of ZN / p = 15 K may be used.
On the other hand, when the value of ZN / p is less than K, then the oilfilm will rupture and there is a metal to metal contact.
![Page 68: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Critical pressure of the journal bearing
The pressure at which the oil film breaks down so that metal tometal contact begins, is known as critical pressure or theminimum operating pressure of the bearing.

Method of Analysis
The torque transmitted by a clutch is a function of
Geometry
The magnitude of the actuating force applied
The condition of contact prevailing between themembers
![Page 75: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
Uniform Pressure Theory
If the applied force keep the frictional surfaces together with a
uniform pressure all over its contact area , then the analysis is
based on uniform pressure condition .
Uniform Wear Theory
However, as the time progresses some wear takes place between
the contacting members and this may alter or vary the contact
pressure appropriately and uniform pressure condition may no
longer prevail. Hence the analysis here is based on uniform wear
condition. [Wear α contact pressure and sliding velocity]

Friction between the belt and the pulley is responsible for transmitting
power from one pulley to the other. Due to the presence of friction between
the pulley and the belt surfaces, tensions on both the sides of the belt are
not equal.

Important terms
The motion of the belt and pulley assuming a firm frictional grip between the belts
and pulleys. Sometimes, the frictional grip becomes insufficient and may cause
forward motion of a pulley without carrying the belt. This is called slip of the belt.
![Page 105: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/105.jpg)
When the belt passes from the slack side to the tight side, a certain portion
of the belt extends and it contracts again when the belt passes from the tight
side to slack side. Due to these changes of length, there is a relative motion
between the belt and the pulley surfaces. This relative motion is termed as
creep.

Centrifugal Tension in the Belt
When a belt runs over a pulley, some centrifugal force is caused,
whose effect is to increase tension on both tight side and slack
side of the drive. This tension caused by centrifugal force is
known as centrifugal tension.
At high speed greater than 10 m/s,
effect of centrifugal force is
considerable .
![Page 113: Design of transmission systems by A.Vinoth Jebaraj](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051710/5a653e537f8b9a5a2a8b4891/html5/thumbnails/113.jpg)

If the effect of centrifugal tension is considered,
Then, the total tension in the tight side Tmax = T1 + TC
Total tension in the slack side Tmin = T2 + TC
Where,
T1 = Tension in the tight side of the belt
T2 = Tension in the slack side of the belt
TC = Centrifugal tension
Therefore, centrifugal tension has no effect on the power transmission.

Crowning of Pulley
Pulleys are provided with a slight conical shape or convex shape in their
outer rim surface to prevent the belt from running off the pulley due to
centrifugal force. This is known as crowing of pulley.
Usually crowning height may be 1/96 th of the pulley width.

Sag in the belt drive
In horizontal belt drive, loose side is usually kept on the top. On the
upper side, the sag of the belt due to its own weight slightly increases the
arc of contact with the pulleys and increases the efficiency of the drive.
If the lower side is slack side, then sag will reduce the angle of contact
with the pulleys. This has to be avoided to gain the power transmission.
In case of vertical belt drive, due to gravitational force on the belt, it will
try to fall away from the lower surface of the lower pulley. This causes
slip and reduces the efficiency of the drive. To run such a drive, the belt
has to run with excessive tension with consequent increase in bearing
reactions and reduced belt life.

Timing belt or Ribbed belt
Timing belt has toothed shape in
their inner surface. Their
engagement with toothed pulley
will provide positive drive without
any belt slip where as in the case of
ordinary V – belts chances for slip
are more.
Hence toothed shape belts ( i.e.
timing belts) are always superior
than V – belts.Initial tension not required – reduces the bearing action – high strength to
weight ratio – costlier than the V and flat belts – more sensitive to
misalignment

Round BeltsRound belts are made of leather, canvas and rubber. The diameter ofthe round belts are usually 3 to 12 mm.
They are suitable for , 90° twist, reverse bending or serpentineapplications.
Round belts are limited to light duties dish washer drives, sewingmachines, vacuum cleaner, light duty textile machinery.

Quarter turn Belt Drive
The quarter turn belt drive (also known as right angle belt drive) as is used withshafts arranged at right angles and rotating in one definite direction.
In order to prevent the belt from leaving the pulley, the width of the face of thepulley should be greater or equal to 1.4 b, where b is width of belt.
when the reversible motion is desired, then a quarter turn belt drive with a guidepulley, may be used.

Design of V – Belt Drive In case of V – belt drive, power is transmitted by the wedging action between
the belt and the v – groove in the pulley or sheave.
A clearance should be provided at the bottom of the groove to preventtouching of the bottom as it becomes narrower from wear.
To increase the power transmission, multiple V – belts can be operated sideby side. All the belts should stretch at the same rate so that the load is equallyshared between them.
When one of the set of belts break, the entire set should be replaced at thesame time. If only one belt is replaced, the new unworn and unstretched beltwill be more tightly stretched and will move with different velocity.

When a large amount of power is to be transmitted over long distances from
one pulley to another (i.e. when the pulleys are upto 150 meters apart), then
wire ropes are used.

Chain sag: catenary effect
Over tensioned chain will wear faster due to high pressureloading between the roller and pin and high pressurebetween the roller and sprocket. Over tensioning will alsoresult in higher bearing and shaft loads.
Under tensioning can result in the chain ratcheting
