Machine Design-Ii: Gear - Introduction

This document discusses different types of gears including their definitions, classifications, profiles that satisfy the law of gearing, and advantages of involute gears. It provides information on gear terminology, the fundamental law of gearing relating angular velocity ratios, and profiles such as involute, cycloidal, and circular arc that can satisfy this law. It notes advantages of involute gears including constant velocity ratio despite center distance variation and constant pressure angle for smooth running.

GEAR - INTRODUCTION

MACHINE DESIGN-II
DEFINITION OF GEARS

 Gears are toothed members which transmit


power / motion between two shafts by meshing
without any slip.
 In any pair of gears, the smaller one is called
pinion and the larger one is called gear
immaterial of which is driving the other.

LAW OF GEARING
 The fundamental law of gearing states that the
angular velocity ratio between the gears of a gear
set must remain constant throughout the mesh.
This amounts to the following relationship:
PROFILES SATISFYING LAW OF GEARS
 Profiles which can satisfy the law of gearing are (a)
involute (b) cycloidal and (c) circular arc or
Novikov.
 Among these, cycloidal was the first to be evolved.
This is followed by the invention of involute profile
which replaced many of the other profiles due to
several technological advantages. Circular arc or
Novikov profile has some advantages over the
other profiles. But due to manufacturing
difficulties, it did not become popular.
 However with powder metallurgy process it is
slowly getting into industry now for specific
application.

ADVANTAGES OF INVOLUTE GEARS

 1. Variation in centre distance does not affect the


velocity ratio.

 2. Pressure angle remains constant throughout the


engagements which results in smooth running.

 3. Straight teeth of basic rack for involute admit


simple tools. Hence, manufacturing becomes
simple and cheap.
