Gears, Pulleys, & Sprockets Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Gears, Pulleys, & Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms These three power train elements transfer energy through rotary motion. Change the speed of rotation Change the direction of rotation Change the amount of torque available to do work

Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms A gear train is a mechanism used for transmitting rotary motion and torque through interlocking teeth. A gear train is made when two or more gears are meshed Driver gear causes motion Motion is transferred to the driven gear

Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms Mating gears always turn in opposite directions. An Idler Gear allows the driver and driven gears to rotate in the same direction. Mating gears always have the same size teeth (diametric pitch).

Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms The rpm of the larger gear is always slower than the rpm of the smaller gear. Gears locked together on the same shaft will always turn in the same direction and at the same rpm.

Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Gear Ratios Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms Variables to know n = number of teeth d = diameter w = angular velocity (speed) t = torque Subscripts in and out are used to distinguish between gears. 4” nin= din = win = tin = 6 2 in. 40 rpm 40 ft-lb nout = dout = wout = tout = 12 4 in. 20 rpm 80 ft-lb To effectively work with the ratios, you must understand the following symbols. The symbol for angular velocity is the Greek lower case Omega. The symbol for torque is the Greek lower case Tau. The subscript “in” and “out” simply identify whether the characteristic of the gear refers to the input or output gear. Note the rotation direction of the gears.

Gear Ratios Equations to know GR = Gear Ratio Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Gear Ratios Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms Equations to know GR = Gear Ratio

Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Gear Ratios Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms What is the gear ratio between gears A and B? What is the gear ratio between gears B and C? What is the gear ratio between gears C and D?

Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Gear Ratios Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms Idler gears don’t affect GR! What is the TOTAL gear train gear ratio? If gears A and D were directly connected to each other, what would the resulting gear ratio be? If the last gear had 40 teeth, what would be the total gear ratio? or

Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Gear Ratios—Compound Machines Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms Are used similarly to MA Apply to torque instead of force In a compound machine, total MA and GR are products of components MA is used only to calculate forces, not torques. GR is used only to calculate torques, not forces. Force is measured through cables or strings; torque is measured about an axis of rotation. In many compound machines, an input force causes a torque around a drive shaft. Similarly, an output torque around a drive shaft can result in an output force from an object attached to the drive shaft. If you only need to know the ratio of the input force and output force, you can ignore the gear ratio; those gear sizes will show up in your mechanical advantage calculations as wheel and axle radii.

Example Compound Machine Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms Example Compound Machine Here are three mechanisms in series: Wheel–axle Gear train When designing a compound machine, each mechanism is either a simple machine or power train element. The six simple machines (lever, wheel/axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, screw) contribute mechanical advantage (but not gear ratio.) The three power train elements (gears, belt/pulley, chain/sprocket) contribute gear ratio (but not mechanical advantage.)

Example Compound Machine Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms Example Compound Machine Mechanism #1: Wheel–axle The input force F_E on the black bar transfers force, with mechanical advantage, to the teeth of the purple gear. This wheel/axle system has a mechanical advantage of 2.67. Since the black bar and the purple gear turn at the same angular speed, no gear ratio contributed by this component; i.e., GR = 1.

Example Compound Machine Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms Example Compound Machine Mechanism #2: Gear train The purple gear transfers force to the blue gear. The force is transmitted teeth-to-teeth, unchanged (i.e., MA = 1), but the force on the blue gear is now at a different distance from its axis of rotation, causing a gear ratio that is not 1.

Example Compound Machine Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms Example Compound Machine Mechanism #3: Wheel–axle The gear transfers force to the black bar at the output. Because the force on the blue teeth and the force F_R at the output are at different distances from the same axis, rotational equilibrium requires these force to be different. This is a wheel/axle system with mechanical advantage. Again, GR = 1 since the bar and the blue gear rotate around their shared axis at the same rate.

Example Compound Machine Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms Example Compound Machine The total mechanical advantage is the product of all the component mechanical advantages. MA_2 = 1, which doesn’t change the product, since mechanism #2 was a power train element, not a simple machine. This overall mechanical advantage is used when comparing F_E with F_R.

Example Compound Machine Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms Example Compound Machine The total gear ratio is the product of all component gear ratios. In this example, only one GR was not 1. You would use the total gear ratio if you want to know how many full revolutions of the effort force are required to get one full revolution at the output.

Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Compound Gear Train Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms Driver The two middle gears share a common axle, so they rotate at the same speed. This allows the final gear to rotate slower and produce more torque than if it were connected only to the driver gear. A simple method to gain torque is to turn the final gear that was added into the driver gear.

Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Compound Gear Ratios Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms D B C A 10 T 20 T What is the gear ratio between gears A and B? 40 T 50 T What is the gear ratio between gears C and D? Note that this compound machine has a simple machine right in the middle! Transferring energy and power from gear B to gear C is a wheel/axle, with mechanical advantage of DE/DR = 40/20 = 2. What is the gear ratio of the entire gear train?

Belt and Pulley Systems Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms out 2in. in Equations The belt is a continuous band that wraps around the pulleys to transmit power. The ratios are the same as for gears. The only exception is that there are no teeth to count. Another difference is that two pulleys connected by a belt rotate in the same direction. Also, belt/pulley systems are able to slip. This is useful, for example, in a compressor where a motor would otherwise stall once the system was pressurized or in a lawn mower where the pulley is engaged as a clutch. d = diameter ω = angular velocity (speed) t = torque

Sprocket and Chain Systems Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms 45rpm 3in. out 90rpm 60 ft-lb 1.5in. in 120 ft-lb Sprockets and gears are often confused. Gears mesh directly with other gears, while sprockets use chains to transfer power between sprockets. n = number of teeth d = diameter ω = angular velocity (speed) τ = torque

Comparing Pulleys and Sprockets Gears, Pulleys, and Sprockets Comparing Pulleys and Sprockets Principles of EngineeringTM Unit 1 – Lesson 1.1 - Mechanisms Pulley Sprocket Method of Transmitting Force Belt Chain Advantages Quiet, no lubrication needed, inexpensive No slip, greater strength Disadvantages Can slip Higher cost, needs lubrication, noisy
