Test: Design of Power Transmission System - 2 - Mechanical Engineering MCQ

A spur gear has a module of 3 mm, number of teeth 16, a face width of 36 mm and a pressure angle of 20°. It is transmitting a power of 3 kW at 20 rev/s. Taking a velocity factor of 1.5, and a form factor of 0.3, the stress in the gear tooth is about         

Given that the tooth geometry factor is 0.32 and the combined effect of dynamic load and allied factors intensifying the stress is 1.5; the minimum allowable stress (in MPa) for the gear material is 

The resultant force on the contacting gear tooth in N is:   

A compacting machine shown in the figure below is used to create a desired thrust force by using a rack and pinion arrangement. The input gear is mounted on tile motor shaft. The gears have involute teeth of 2 mm module. 

If the drive efficiency is 80%, then torque required on the input shaft to create 1000 N output thrust is  

The arm OA of an epicyclic gear train shown in figure revolves counter clockwise about O with an angular velocity of 4 rad/s. Both gears are of same size. Tire angular velocity of gear C, if the sun gear B is fixed, is

Two mating spur gears have 40 and 120 teeth respectively. The pinion rotates at 1200 rpm and transmits a torque of 20 Nm. The torque transmitted by the gear is      

A 1.5 kW motor is running at 1440 rev/min. It is to be connected to a stirrer running at 36 rev /min. The gearing arrangement suitable for this application is   

The velocity ratio between pinion and gear in a gear drive is 2.3, the module of teeth is 2.0 mm and sum of number of teeth on pinion and gear is 99. What is the centre distance between pinion and the gear?

The working surface above the pitch surface of the gear tooth is termed as 

Assertion (A ):  When one body drives another by direct contact, their contact points must have equal components of velocity normal to the surfaces at the point of contact.  

Reason (R): Two  points in the same body must have the same component of velocity relative to the third body, in the direction of the line joining the two points.

What is the value of pressure angle generally used for involute gears?     

An external gear with 60 teeth meshes with a pinion of 20 teeth, module being 6 mm. What is the centre distance in mm?                 

Assertion (A ): An involute rack with 20° pressure angle meshes with a pinion of 14.5° pressure angle.         Reason (R): Such  a matching is impossible. 

Which of the following statements are correct?                      

1. For constant velocity ratio transmission between two gears, the common normal at the point of contact must always pass through a fixed point on the line joining the centres of rotation of the gears.  

2. For involute gears the pressure angle changes with change in centre distance between gears.  

3. The velocity ratio of compound gear train depends upon the number of teeth of the input and output gears only.  

4. Epicyclic gear trains involve rotation of at least one gear axis about some other gear axis.  

In involute gears the pressure angle is     

A certain minimum number of teeth is to be kept for a gear wheel   

Assertion (A ): When a pair of spur gears of the same material is in mesh, the design is based on pinion.                 

Reason (R): For a  pair of gears of the same material in mesh, the 'strength factor' of the pinion is less than that of the gear.
