1 8//0 hapter seven Laith atarseh are very important in power transmission between a drive rotor and driven rotor What are the functions of gears? - Transmit motion and torque (power) between shafts - Maintain constant speed ratios between power transmission shafts What is gear? In general, a gear is a circular disk with teeth along the circumference

8//0 Gear types are divided into four main types depending on the

different form of transmission and these types are Rack and pinion gear

This type is used to transform rotational torque into axial force Gear

2 8//0 Gear types are divided into four main types depending on the relation between the tooth axis and the gear axis this relation provide different form of transmission and these types are Rack and pinion gear Rack is gear that has infinite radius. This type is used to transform rotational torque into axial force Gear types Spur gear xis of the gear transmits motion between two parallel shafts. The teeth have straight line shape Helical gear The tooth axis is apart of helix about the gear axis. This type can transmit the power between two parallel or none parallel shafts

3 8//0 Gear types evel gear The tooth axis is apart of cone about the gear axis. This type can transmit the power between two intersecting shafts Worm gear Is a special case of helical gear and used to transmit power from high speed shaft to low speed shaft with different ratios gear train Gear train is a sequence of consecutive meshed gears such the one shown below When gears are meshed in gear train, one of the gears is drive (input) and the others are driven. However, one of the driven gears is called output

Gear is the output of the first pair and gear is the input of the second pair. and are locked to the same shaft and revolve at the same speed. GER '' GER '' D Output ompound GER '' GER 'D' 8

10 8//0 Gear operation The goal is to have constant speed ratio, it can be observed that is the motion transmit between gears teeth is a cam mechanism so, to guaranty the constant speed ratio, the intersection between the line of action and the line of center (k) is held constant in space,therefore the tooth profile must guaranty this requirement. This requires the line of action to be stationary in space and the tooth profile which guaranty this can be constructed by involute profile. Gear operation The involute profile is the resultant of the straight line motion of the point of contact along the common normal or line of action and the negative of the rotating motion of the observer attached to the gear at the base circle Pc = circular pitch = distance between two tooth along the pitch circle circumference of the pitch circle Pc umber of tooth d 0
