CONES ROLLING TOGETHER WITHOUT SLIPPING

These are cylinders rolling together in a pure rolling contact in which the shafts of these cylinders are
not parallel but two or more shafts that are connected which lie in the same plane and make some angle with
each other.

A. External Pure Rolling Contact


These are cones in pure rolling contact in which the rotation of each cone is opposite to one another.

=+
 = angle between axes

Since, VA = VB due to pure rolling contact,


we have,

Velocity A = 2RANA
Velocity B = 2RBNB

Therefore,

2RANA = 2RBNB or NA/NB = RB/RA

But RA = OP sin  and


RB = OP sin , therefore,

R B OP sinβ sinβ
= =
R A OP sinα sinα

N A sin β
=
N B sin α
Therefore, the angular speeds of two cones rolling together without slipping are inversely proportional as the
sines of the angles

Cone angles:
To calculate the cone angles, the angle between the axes and the speed ratio must be known.

B. Internal Pure Rolling Contact


These are cones in pure rolling contact in which the rotation of each cone is the same to one another.

=-
 = angle between axes

Since the direction of each cone has changed, speed ratio for internal pure rolling contact is still the
same with the speed ratio for an external pure rolling contact

N A sin β
=
N B sin α

Given that  =  +  and  =  - , the equation for cone angles are;
