A helical gear has a normal diametral pitch of 12, a normal pressure angle of 20, 48

Question:

A helical gear has a normal diametral pitch of 12, a normal pressure angle of 20°, 48 teeth, a face width of 1.50 in, and a helix angle of 45°. 

(a) If the gear transmits 2.50 hp at a speed of 1750 rpm, compute the tangential force, the axial force, and the radial force. 

(b) If the gear operates with a pinion having 16 teeth, compute the bending stress in the pinion teeth. The power comes from an electric motor, and the drive is to a centrifugal blower. Specify a quality number for the teeth. 

(c) Specify a suitable material for the pinion and the gear considering both strength and pitting resistance.
