The pinion of a helical gear pair of normal module 3 mm, is supported in bearings equally spaced on either side of the centre line of the gear. The pinion has 19 teeth, and the helix angle is 40 degrees. If the speed of the pinion is 984 rev/min and 75kW is being transmitted, find the end thrust on the pinion shaft in kN. Assume that the end thrust is carried by a separate thrust bearing. Give your answer to 2dp.
