Please show step by step, cover all points Thank you so much!
Your team have been contacted to design a speed multiplier helical gearbox with an input speed of 100 rpm and an output speed of 5000 rpm. Your task is to design this speed multiplier helical gearbox which should include housing, ball bearings, helical gears, shafts with mechanical keys to meet the specifications. The gearbox will be driven by a 20 hp engine. The following are defined for the gearbox
Power and torque requirements. Power considerations should be
addressed, as this will determine the overall sizing needs for
the entire system. Any necessary speed or torque ratio from input
to output must be determined before addressing gear/pulley
sizing.
Gear specification. Necessary gear ratios and torque transmission
issues can now be addressed with selection of appropriate gears.
Determine the number of teeth, geometry of the gear, etc.
Shaft layout. The general layout of the shaft, including axial
location of gears and bearings must now be specified. Decisions
on how to transmit the torque from the gears to the shaft need to
be made (keys, splines, etc.), as well as how to hold gears and
bearings in place (retaining rings, press fits, nuts, etc.).
Force analysis. Once the gear/pulley diameters are known, and the
axial locations of the gears and bearings are known, the free-
body, shear force, and bending moment diagrams for the shafts can
be produced. Forces at the bearings can be determined.
