As shown below in Figure 1, Shaft A in the gear mechanism is driven by a planetary gear. Ring Gear (w.) Planet Gear (W) Gear 5 Gear 4 Shaft A (w.) Sun Gear (w) Gear 3 Gear 2 Planetary Carrier (W) Gear 1 Figure 1: Planetary gear (left) Gear mechanism (right) A. [4 pts] The ring gear of the planetary gear as shown above rotates CCW at 1500 RPM and the sun gear rotates CW at 1800 RPM. With the given teeth of the planetary gear as shown below in Table 1, determine the angular velocity and direction (CW or CCW) of Shaft A. Table 1: Summary of the numbers of teeth in the planetary gear Sun Gear Planetary Gear Ring Gear Teeth 15 18 51
B. [11 pts total] From the previous question, you know that the planetary gear was operating at a power of 0.8kW and that Gear 1 rotates CCW. From Figure 1, all the gears have a module of m= 4 mm and a pressure angle of a = 20 degrees. The teeth numbers of the gears are summarized in Table 2 below. (Note: If you did not solve for part A, you can assume wa= 500 RPM CCW) Table 2: Summary of the mechanism gear teeth Gear 1 Gear 2 Gear 3 Gear 4 Gear 5 Teeth 14 28 14 35 75 Here, Gears 3 and 4 are rigidly attached to each other, meaning that they rotate together. Also, Gear 2 is an idler, meaning that there is no torque on Shaft B. With these given criterias, identify the following: 1) [3 pts] Based on the power input, what is the resultant torque acting on Gear 1? 2) [5 pts] Draw the free-body diagram for Gear 1. Determine the radial and tangential load Gear 2 applies towards Gear 1 (Also indicate their directions). 3) [3 pts] Draw the free-body diagram for Gear 2. Determine the radial and tangential load Gear 3 applies towards Gear 2 (Also indicate their directions). C. [5 pts] If Gear 5 has an allowable bending stress of 100 MPa, determine what is the appropriate minimum face width of Gear 5. The Lewis form factor for Gear 5 is 0.259, and the speed factor is calculated as shown in the equation below: 6.1+V 6.1 (Note: If you did not solve for part A, you can assume wa= 500 RPM CCW) Κυ
