Step 7: find out weaker element for gear and pinion, 𝝈𝒃 × 𝒀
Step 8: calculate the beam strength for weaker element

• Check the safe codition, 𝐹𝑤 ≥ 𝐹𝑑
• Step 5: the approximate pinion diameter is determined from selected value of V
and the number of teeth Zg and Zp are found out
• Step 6: exact values for Y are calculated both for pinion and gear
• Step 7: the Lewis equation is solved both for pinion and gear and for each the
value for f determined. The greater value is chosen
• Step 8: the gears are checked and modified if needed by Buckingham’s equation
for dynamic load and for wear to ensure that
𝐹𝑤 ≥ 𝐹𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐹𝑏 ≥ 𝐹𝑑
Note: sometimes, for guidance sake, the following empirical relation may be used
𝑚 = 0.01 − 0.02 𝐶, 𝐶 = 𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
The lower value are taken for more precise and rigid drives

Q.A bronze spur pinion rotating at 600 rpm drives a cast iron spur gear at a transmission
ratio of 4:1. The allowable static stresses for the bronze pinion and cast iron gear are 84
N/mm2 and 105 N/mm2 respectively. The pinion has 16 standard 200 full depth involute
teeth of module 8 mm. the face width of both the gears is 90 mm. find the power that
can be transmitted from the standpoint of strength.
Sol:
Q. A reciprocating compressor is to be connected to an electric motor
with the help of spur gears. The distance between the shafts is to be
500 mm. The speed of the electric motor is 900 rpm and the speed of
the compressor shaft is desired to be 200 rpm. The torque to be
transmitted is 5000 N-m. Taking starting torque as 25% more than the
normal torque, determine: i) Module and face width of the gears using
20 degree stub teeth, and ii) Number of teeth and pitch circle diameter
of each gear. Assume suitable values of velocity factor and Lewis factor.
