1. A 14 deg full depth involute spur gear has an outside diameter of 6.2 in. and a
diametral pitch of 4. Find the circular pitch, the addendum, the dedendum, the
pitch circle diameter, the whole depth of a tooth, the clearance and the base circle
diameter.
2. A 20-deg American Stub tooth gear has a total tooth height of 0.9 in. and contains
20 teeth. Find the diametral pitch and the pitch circle diameter.
3. Two spur gears in mesh have a center distance of 15 in. and a speed ratio of 1.5.
The gears are 14 deg full depth involute and the diametral pitch is 4. Find the
contact ratio.
4. A 26-tooth spur gear has a diametral pitch of 5 and a face width of 2 in. The gear
teeth are 14 deg full depth involute. Assuming a flexural endurance limit of
60,000 psi and a rotational speed of 600 rpm, find the beam strength by the Lewis
equation.
5. A 40-tooth steel gear has a diametral pitch of 2. The pressure angle is 14 deg.
Find the circular pitch, addendum, dedendum, clearance, diameter of the base
circle and outside diameter of the gear.
6. A gear has 44 teeth of the 20 full depth involute form and a diametral pitch of 12.
Compute the circular pitch, the addendum, the dedendum, the pitch circle
diameter, the whole depth of a tooth, the clearance, outside diameter, and the base
circle diameter.
7. A gear has 34 teeth of the 20 full depth involute form and a diametral pitch of 24.
Compute the circular pitch, the addendum, the dedendum, the pitch circle
diameter, the whole depth of a tooth, the clearance, outside diameter, and the base
circle diameter.
8. A gear has 22 teeth of the 20 full depth involute form and a diametral pitch of
1.75. Compute the circular pitch, the addendum, the dedendum, the pitch circle
diameter, the whole depth of a tooth, the clearance, outside diameter, and the base
circle diameter.
9. A gear has 28 teeth of the 20 full depth involute form and a diametral pitch of 18.
Compute the circular pitch, the addendum, the dedendum, the pitch circle
diameter, the whole depth of a tooth, the clearance, outside diameter, and the base
circle diameter.
