1.0 Abstract
Figure 1: Exploded View of Gearbox Design
An air compressor gearbox is used to convert power produced by a single cylinder, two stroke
engine to potential energy stores in a pressurized air. The objective of this project is to design a
suitable gearbox for the air compressor. The gearbox designed consists of a housing, one gear set
consisting of a pinion and gear, 2 shafts, 2 keys and 4 bearings with a proper lubrication plan for
each component. In order to design the gearbox, some assumptions are made to select the best
dimensions and material for each component. Other factors such as weight, size, cost,
manufacturability and ease of assembly are also considered in the process of designing. After
numerous calculations and iterations, the safest and cost efficient design that meets the required
safety factors and constraints are selected as our final design for the air compressor gearbox.

2.0 Objective
The main purpose of this design project is to understand and have hands on experience in designing
a gearbox. The design should consist of spur gears, contact bearings, shafts, keys and housing. A
number of assumptions were made to ensure the gearbox mechanism is functional and
reproducible.
In addition, the aim of this group project is to enable us to apply relevant theories and knowledge
we learned in lectures. This will help to improve our understanding on calculating the stresses,
safety factor, and dimensions of any component designed. Besides that, the objective of this project
is also to have hands on experience in computer aided design by using engineering software such
as CREO Parametric in simulating the designing of the gearbox and performing complex
mathematical calculations using excel sheets.

3.0 Introduction
Nowadays, gearbox plays a vital role in this fast-changing world especially in motor-
equipped machinery of the industrial environment. There are many of kinds of gearbox available
in the market for selection, for just about any daily engineering problem applications. It is widely
used in the automotive industry, building constructions, power generation as well as shipping.
However, in this project, we only focus on gearboxes of a portable air compressor due time
constraints and the fact that the gearbox is the most crucial part of the air compressor design.
First and foremost, the gearbox, also known as a gear reducer or gear shifter, is a mechanism
of assembled gears that transmits energy from a high-speed motor or engine to rotate another
mechanical component of an output device. It increases the output torque while reducing the
rotational speed from input source. Even though most gearboxes are designed for speed reduction,
some may be created for speed increasing duties.
In order to discover how it actually works, we should figure out what is under the hood.
Basic components of a gearbox consist of gears, shafts, bearings, keys and housings. Gears and
shafts are arranged and fixed in a certain order so that inputs will be converted into desired outputs
flawlessly and not forgetting containment and safety functions, the casings are made to enclose
this assembly besides giving structural support. Moreover, since bearings are self-lubricated, all
shafts in the gearbox are equipped with roller bearings to smoothen its rotational movement during
the process. On the other hand, lubrication is also an essential part for lifespan elongation of
gearbox.
After research and discussion done on types of gearbox, we have finally chosen the Spur
Gearbox as the primary choice of gearbox and as our project title effectively. It is designed to meet

today’s demand in the medium duty sector. It possesses a very high efficiency at all ratios and is
ideal for very high power transmission system which involves more than 50kW. Spur gearbox is
widely applicable in industries such as steel, mining and mineral extractions, cement as well as
power plants. Hence, it can be utilized with conveyors, bucket elevators, coal pulverizing mills,
cooling towers and many more.
The gear box of the air compressor consists of a set of pinion and gear with a certain gear
ratio. In the gearbox, there will be a larger diameter driving pinion in the gearbox that drives the
smaller diameter output gear. This converts the fast rotating speed and low torque power of the
rotor into a low rotating speed and high torque power. Thus the rotating speed of the input shaft
can be stepped down to a lower output speed as per requirement to run the compressor. The
gearbox of the air compressor does not “change gears” because it only has a single gear ratio. Spur
gear permits for various angles between the wheels. The axes of the wheels must cross each other
in a point. Moreover, for smoother meshing between gear wheels, the teeth are cut at certain angles.
Another part of the gearbox is the transmission shafts. Shafts are used to transmit torque
from the rotors of the wind turbine to the gearbox and to the generator. To make sure the shafts do
not fail under loading, a suitable material that has a high ultimate strength and fatigue strength is
chosen. Keys are used to connect a rotating element such as gears to the shaft and prevent slipping
thus enabling torque transmission. A suitable key is also needed to hold the gears in place so that
the gearbox can work.
Lastly, we will also design a suitable housing to contain all the components of the gearbox
so that it is well protected. A lubrication scheme is also thought out so that all the bearings and
gears are well oiled and lubricated so that the gearbox can run smoothly. When the gears are well
lubricated, the gear teeth will have reduced friction and thus reduced wear and tear of the gears.

Gear efficiency affects costs of equipment, maintenance costs and operating costs for both
gear reducer and motor significantly. Thus, the arrangement of the gearbox’s parts and its
subcomponents such as lubricants play important roles in minimizing energy losses and
maximizing the power transmission. With this, the system is capable to achieve great savings,
especially in drive component costs and energy costs.
Before the process of power transmission, the shaft of the engine or motor must be
delivered into the gearbox first. The torque and speed supplied will go through a series of internal
gearing in gearbox after switching on the motor. This is done so that the torque and rotational
speed can be modified into suitable requirements specifically for its application. For this process
of gear reduction to be occurred accurately, set ratios involving the characteristic values of the
input source and the output device are determined through calculations, which will be discussed
later.

3.1 Design Specifications
The general technical aspects of the portable air compressor are provided in the project outline,
with the following main points:
Power = 2.5 HP
Output speed, n = 1500rpm
Input Speed, n=3800rpm
With the above given speed ratios, the mating ration of the gears can be easily obtained. The
complete steps are shown in the excel file attached where all calculations were done.
In general, the engine is mounted on a base with its output shaft connected via a clutch to the input
shaft of a gearbox. The gear box contains a single gear set to reduce the high engine speed to a
lower one for the compressor. The required gear ratio is 1500:3800. The output shaft from the gear
box is connected via a coupling to the crankshaft of the compressor. The shaft in gear box housing
are carried in four suitable bearings, as represented by the calculations in the excel file.
In our calculations, a number of assumptions were made. For example, the material selections and
sizing of the gears were chosen after a number of trials and iterations on the excel file. In order to
protect the gearbox from accidental overload, a weakest link design is incorporated during the
design process. The key is selected to be the weakest link of the system with a safety factor of 5
as it is the cheapest part and easily replaceable. Moreover, the turbine gearbox is expected to last
for 10 years in continuous operation. Lastly, sound engineering effort and cost analysis is also
done during the process of designing the gearbox.

4.0 Methodology
From the information extracted from the problem statement, the gear is the first component to
be designed. This is because the gearbox is designed for the specific spur gear’s speed and torque.
Once the gear design is finalized, the shaft is the next component to be designed. The shaft
diameters that are limited to the gear diameters are then selected accordingly to get the right safety
factor.
In order to ensure all the components of the gearbox fit nicely into the housing, we have first
determined the housing size. We have chosen the size of the housing keeping in mind the need of
having a compact yet practical size of the overall compressor. By doing this, we have constrained
all sizes of the gears and shaft in line with the housing and by choosing an appropriate clearance
to ensure the components do not touch the housing as this would damage the components and
cause operational failure which we want to avoid at all costs.
Having the main components designed, the key is then designed to allow attachment of the
gear to the shaft. Keyways and slots are added to the gear and shaft and the effect of the keyways
on the shaft is the check to ensure the shaft does not fail. The design of the gearbox is then followed
by selecting the most suitable bearing for the shaft to be connected to the housing.
Lastly, the housing of the gearbox is then designed to house the system of gears and shafts.
Proper lubricant and lubrication method is then selected to ensure the gearbox to have a long
lifespan. Sound engineering effort is used throughout the process to reduce overall weight and
manufacturing cost of the gearbox.

In the process of designing each component, the trial and error method is implemented with
the help of a powerful Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The factors affecting the safety factor such as
face width and diametric pitch of gears, shaft diameter, and key length are varied until a
satisfactory safety factor is obtained. Necessary assumptions are also made during the process to
simplify the design process without compromising on its quality.
Computer aided design (CAD) is also used to in the design process. The software CREO
Parametric is used to draw the components in 3D. The gearbox is then assembled part by part to
get a good visualization of the gearbox designed. Simulation is also done using the software to
check the stress concentration of each component.
Formulas and equations used in the analysis process are stated clearly in the appendices.
These formulas are retrieved from the Machine Design textbook by Shigley unless stated
otherwise. Catalogues and brochures are referred to for the designing of bearings that as bearings
safety factor is unique to each manufacturer and no standard equations are available.

Table 1: Factor of Safety of Design and Realised for Gearbox
The spur gears are designed to be made of steel that is flame or induction hardened. The
gear teeth are of involute shape with a 20 degree pressure angle and the number of gear teeth
of pinion and gear are 15 and 38 respectively. The diametric pitch and face width of both pinion
and gear are designed to be 62 mm. Therefore, the pinion diameter is 75mm mm while the gear
diameter is 190mm. ISO VG 68 oil is chose as the gear lubricant.
The shafts attached to the pinion and gear are identical in shape and material. It is designed
so that Cold Drawn carbon steel 1020 is used to for the shafts. After considering the effect of
keyways, the Input shaft diameter is set to be 20mm and have a length of 240mm. The shaft is
stepped to facilitate the attachment of gears and the shoulder diameter is designed to be 15mm
with a notch radius of 5 mm.
A rectangular parallel key is used to attach the gear to the shaft. As the key is supposed
to be the weakest link of the system, aluminum casting alloy 43 is used as it has a lower
strength. The key is designed to be 2 mm in width, 2 mm in height and 1 mm in depth. Using
this size, the safety factor of the key is the lowest hence it will fail first when the system is
overloaded.

7.0 Discussion
7.1 Spur Gear
The turbine machine gearbox is designed to transmit a power of 2.5HP from a single
cylinder, two stroke engine is coupled through a clutch to a gear set to reduce the engine speed and
boost its torque appropriately by using two spur gears, namely the pinion and gear. The input shaft
is connected to the pinion with a rotational speed of 3800 rpm while the output shaft is connected
to the gear with a rotational speed of 1500 rpm. From the rotational speeds of the shafts it is clearly
seen that a reducing effect has been applied to reduce the engine speed in the gearbox.
The gear ratio is first determined by using the velocity ratio of the input and output shaft
and is found to be 0.395. In this design project, we have decided to use a pinion with 15 teeth and
hence the gear will have 38 teeth.
The following assumptions are made in the process of designing the gears:
1. The gears are assumed to be full depth involute teeth with a pressure angle of 20o that is under
HPSTC loading. This pressure angle is selected to reduce the undercutting effect as the gear
teeth are big and involute shape is selected as it is the most common and best gear teeth shape.
HPSTC loading is selected as the manufacturing tolerances are small thus load sharing
between teeth is assumed.
2. Both pinion and gear are made of steel that have been flame hardened. This material is selected
as it has the most suitable bending and surface fatigue strength which are comparatively high.
3. The spur gears are light with the pinion and gear weighing approximately 0.06 kg and 0.66 kg
respectively (2). Since the gear weight is low, it does not require rim and spokes to further
reduce it weight thus Kb = 1.0. Stocks are readily available at a reasonable pricing of less than
RM120 (2).

4. The quality of the spur gears are assumed to be 7 as it is hobbed and uses shaving and grinding
as its finishing process. A high quality gear is needed to ensure power is transmitted without
much loss and increase the efficiency of the turbine.
5. The portable air compressor is made of a uniform driving machine which is under moderate
shock as the machine fluctuates and vibrates and is very stable. Therefore the application
factor, Ka is determined to be 1.00
6. The temperature of the gearbox is assumed to be less than 90 oC as oil and lubricants are used
to reduce friction and heat generated.
7. The life cycle of the gearbox is required to be 10 years. Therefore, it is assumed that the turbine
operates on an 6 hour per day basis 365 days a year. Therefore, the life cycle of the pinion and

7.2 Shafts
The gearbox consists of two cylindrical shafts, namely the input shaft with the pinion
attached and the output shaft with gear attached. Although hollow shafts are stronger, solid shafts
are selected as it is cheaper and compact in size. In this gearbox design, the input and output shafts
are designed to be similar in size and shape. Since the load applied on the shaft is similar for both
shafts, the shafts will have the same safety factor thus calculations are only done once.
Both input and output shafts are made of the same material which is cold rolled carbon
steel 1020. Although carbon steel 1020 is not the strongest steel, it is selected as the shaft material
as it is inexpensive and the strength is good enough to support the gearbox. This material is selected
is also due to its low density of 7870 kg/m3 thus reducing the weight of the shaft.
Heat treatment is usually done on shaft materials to increase the strength of the shaft.
However, in the case of carbon steel 1020, heat treatment is too costly and the increase in strength
is not significant enough. However, case hardening and carburizing can be done to increase the
material strength at a lower cost. Hot rolling of the material can help to relieve the internal stresses
thus making the shafts stronger.
The following assumptions are made in the process of designing the shaft.
1. The force applied on the shaft due to torque is a fully reversed bending. This is because the
shaft is precisely designed so as to not be deformed initially and hence no stress is present in
the shafts initially. Therefore, there the mean stress and mean shear stress are zero.
2. It is assumed that the gears are fitted exactly in the middle of the shaft. This is to ensure that
the maximum bending moment due to the torque will be the smallest possible value as the
loads are equally supported on both sides of the shafts.

3. The shaft is assumed to be a stepped shaft in order to allow the gears to be fixed in place. In
order to reduce the concentration factor, a shoulder fillet is introduced at the connection joint.
The notch radius is assumed to be 5mm for the input shaft and 3.5mm for the output shaft.
4. The shaft shoulder is lathed to the desired diameter accurately by a lathe machine. This is
because by lathing, the surface finish of the shaft would be very smooth and the accuracy of
a lathe machine is very high.
5. The keyway milled on the stepped shoulder of the shaft is a double ended end-milled keyway
with radius of 3 mm. The round corners of the end milled keyway will reduce stress
concentration of the shaft and prevent it from failing easily. A milling machine is used to mill
the keyway into place as it is accurate and have a good finishing surface.
6. The temperature of the shaft is assumed to be lower than 90oC as the shaft is not in constant
friction with any part of the gearbox thus producing less heat.

Where the volumes of different sections of the shafts are added together in order to determine total
volumes as different sections of the shaft has different volume. The price is estimated using the price of
one tonne of AISI 1020 CD at the current market price of RM 2700 per tonne

7.3 Bearing
A radial ball bearing is selected from any existing manufacturing company in the market
to constrain the shaft fully to the housing. The ball bearing consists of an inner ring which is free
to rotate with the shaft and also an outer ring that is grounded and fixed to the housing of the
gearbox. The space between these rings are filled with steel balls to minimize the friction generated
when the shaft rotates.
After much calculations, we decided to use the bearings with Bore 10mm from table 11-2
as both the C10 values calculated for the input shaft and output shaft are lower than 5.07 kN thus
using the 10mm bore bearing is most practical as it the smallest option available and can be easily
sourced.
In our design, the input shaft designed have a diameter of 20mm and the output shaft is to
have a diameter of 17mm. However, the shafts are lathed to a diameter of 15mm and 13.5mm
respectively, before the ends of both the shafts are then stepped again to a diameter of 10mm to
accommodate the bearing with bore diameter of 10mm
In order to mount the bearing, we first slot it in on both ends of the shaft. Snap ring was
installed next to the bearing so that the bearing’s inner ring is fixed on the shaft fully. This allows
the inner ring to be connected with the shaft firmly and rotates with it. After installing the bearings,
end caps are screwed onto the housing wall, constraining any translational motion among the shafts
and providing physical protection on the bearings. Fix and loose end bearings mounting method is
used to allow some axial vibration on the shaft. When a gear is rotating at a high speed, vibration
occurs. If there is no axial or thrust allowance, the structure might has a lower life period.

7.4 Housing
Housing is a component of gearbox which surrounds the gears, shafts or inner components,
providing a cover. It provides a structural support and mechanical protection towards the inner
components from any external disturbances. It also holds a metal container which contains the oil
lubricant used to bathe the gears.
In our gearbox design, we used a housing which is shaped like a rectangular box. It is made
using casting aluminium, ASTM 355.2. Aluminium is chosen based on its lightweight
characteristic and its ability to withstand heat and load well (9). Cast method is used to manufacture
the housing with a thickness of 0.02 m. Its dimension is kept as minimum as possible to save space
and cost in order to keep the air compressor as portable as possible.
There are basically two holes on the housing, the gear shaft entry hole and the pinion shaft
exit hole. Bearing units are used to connect the shafts to the housing holes. The input shaft transmit
rotational motion from the single cylinder engine to the pinion past the entry hole while the output
shaft transmit rotational motion out of the gearbox through the exit hole.
There will be an oil jet inlet hole and an oil outlet hole as well on the housing for lubrication
purpose. Spray lubrication method is used to lubricate the gears. Hence, spray nozzle is directed
into the housing through the oil jet inlet. Excess oil will flow out of the housing through the oil
outlet.
A glass view is also available on the top cover of the housing. The glass view allows people
to inspect the condition of the gears without removing the housing.
