  • 12.2. Friction Wheels

    Motion & power

    transmitted by gears

    is kinematically

    equivalent to that

    transmitted by

    friction wheels.

  • 12.2. Friction Wheels

    Wheel B will be rotated by wheel A as

    long as the tangential force exerted by

    wheel A does not exceed the maximum

    frictional resistance between the two

    wheels.

    When the tangential force (P) exceeds the

    frictional resistance (F), slipping will take

    place between the two wheels.

    Thus friction drive is not a positive drive.

    12.7 Condition for Constant Velocity Ratio of

    Toothed Wheels–Law of Gearing

    vC1 & vC2 = velocities of point C on

    wheels 1 & 2 respectively

    If the teeth are to remain in contact,

    components of these velocities along

    the common normal MN must be equal.

    Angular velocity ratio is inversely

    proportional to ratio of distances of point

    P from O1 & O2.

    pitch point

    Fundamental condition which must be

    satisfied while designing profiles for teeth of

    To have a constant angular velocity ratio for all

    positions of wheels, point P must be the fixed

  • 12.12. Effect of Altering Centre Distance on

    Velocity Ratio for Involute Teeth Gears

    If center distance is changed within limits, velocity

    ratio remains unchanged

    Pressure angle increases with increase in center

    distance

  • Example 12.1

    250 mm pitch circle diameter and speed 650 rpm

    is supported in bearings on either side. Calculate

    the total load due to the power transmitted, the

    pressure angle being 20°.

    12/25/2015

    47

  • Involute Gears Cycloidal Gears

    Center distance for a pair of

    gears can be varied within limits

    without changing velocity ratio

    Require exact center distance to

    be maintained

    Pressure angle, from start to

    end of engagement, remains

    constant. It is necessary for

    smooth running & less wear of

    gears.

    Pressure angle is max at

    beginning of engagement,

    reduces to zero at pitch point,

    starts decreasing and again

    becomes max at end of

    engagement. This results in less

    smooth running of gears.

    Comparison Between Involute & Cycloidal Gears

    48

  • Involute Gears Cycloidal Gears

    Face & flank are generated by a single

    curve

    Double curves (epi-cycloid

    & hypo-cycloid)

    Easy to manufacture. The basic rack

    has straight teeth that can be cut with

    simple tools.

    Not easy to manufacture

    Interference occurs with pinions having

    smaller number of teeth. This may be

    avoided by altering heights of

    addendum & dedendum of mating

    teeth or pressure angle of the teeth.

    Interference does not

    occur at all

    12/25/2015

    Mohammad Suliman Abuhiba, Ph.D., PE

    49

    Comparison Between Involute & Cycloidal Gears

  • Involute Gears Cycloidal Gears

    Greater simplicity and

    flexibility of involute gears

    Since cycloidal teeth have

    wider flanks, therefore

    cycloidal gears are stronger

    than involute gears, for the

    same pitch.

    Convex surfaces are in

    contact

    Contact takes place between

    a convex flank & concave

    surface, This results in less

    wear.

    Contact begins when

    tip of driven tooth

    contacts flank of

    driving tooth.

    Flank of driving tooth

    first makes contact

    with driven tooth at A,

    and this occurs

    tooth comes within
