Question:
For Problem 5–11, complete the design of a pair of helical gears to operate under the stated conditions. Specify the geometry of the gears and the material and its heat treatment. Assume that the drive is from an electric motor unless otherwise specified. Consider both strength and pitting resistance.
A small commercial tractor is being designed for chores such as lawn mowing and snow removal. The wheel drive system is to be through a helical gear pair in which the pinion runs at 450 rpm while the gear, mounted on the hub of the wheel, runs at 75 to 80 rpm. The wheel has an 18-in diameter. The two-cylinder gasoline engine delivers 20.0 hp to the wheels.
