Kinematic Link :::
•“Each part of Machine, which moves
relative to some other part.”
•A link may consists of several parts,
which are rigidly fastened together, so
that they do not move relative to one
another.
Types of Link :::
RIGID LINK FLEXIBLE LINK FLUID LINK
• Link which doesn’t
undergo any deformation
while transmitting the
motion.
• Ex. Piston & Connecting
Rod.
• Classified as :::
1. Binary Link ::
• Link with 2 nodes.
2. Ternary Link ::
• Link with 3 nodes.
3. Quaternary Link ::
• Link with 4 nodes.
Link which are partly
deformed while
transmitting the motion
such that it doesn’t affect
the transmission of
motion.
Ex. Belt, Rope & Chain
Drives.
Link which transmit the
motion by fluid pressure
as compression.
Ex. Hydraulic Jack,
Automobile Brakes.

having no relative motion between them & meant for
carrying loads having straining action.”
• Ex. Railway Bridge, Machine Frame.
• Machine: “An assemblage of parts that transmit the forces,
motion and energy in a predetermined manner.”
• Ex. Steam Engine, Lathe and Milling Machine.
STRUCTURE

2. No Energy is Transformed into
some useful work.
3. Transmits the forces only.
4. Ex. Railway Bridge.
MACHINE

2. Available Energy is Transformed
into some useful work.
3. Transmits the motion & power.
4. Ex. Steam Engine.
24
Machine and Mechanism
• Mechanism: “Kinematic Chain which is used to transmit
the motion with any one link is fixed.”
• Mechanism with 4 Links = Simple Mechanism.
• Mechanism with more than 4 Links = Complex Mechanism.
MECHANISM
1. Kinematic Chain with 1 link fixed.
2. Used to Transmit or transform the
motion.
3. All mechanisms are not machines.
4. Ex. Four Bar Chain.
MACHINE
1. An assemblage of Mechanisms.
2. Used to transmit the motion and
force.
3. All machines are mechanisms.
4. Ex. I.C. Engine.
• Machines and Mechanisms both are combinations of rigid bodies.
• Relative motions along rigid bodies are definite.

Z
DOF = 3
For a Body in a Space :
Y
X
Z
DOF = 6
• Unconstrained Rigid Bogy moving in a
space can have 6 DOF.
1. Three translation motion among x, y, z;
2. Three Rotational Motion about x, y, z.
26
“Number of independent co-ordinates required to define the
position and orientation of the point.”
Degree of Freedom of a Mechanism:::
• “In which Complete
Motion can’t be
represented on a
Single Plane.”
• Ex. Robot Arm and
Hoisting Machine (i.e.,
Cranes)
• DOF ≤ 6.
Spatial Mechanisms :: Planar Mechanisms ::
• “In which Complete

represented on a Single
Plane.”
• Ex. Four Bar Chain
Mechanisms.
• DOF ≤ 3.
27
DOF For Planar Mechanisms :::
• If Link AB is fixed, position of CD can be completely specified by 3 Variables.
• Translation among X and Y; Rotation about Z.
• So, each link of mechanism have 3 DOF before connecting to the other link.
• If, we are connecting CD to AB at C & A, it resists 2 Translation (X & Y) Motion
and allow only 1 Rotational (Z) Motion OR it resists only 1 Translation (Y)
Motion and allow 1 Translation (Y) Motion and 1 Rotational (Z) Motion.
• Lower Pair decreases 2 DOF.
• Higher Pair decreases Only 1 DOF.

Hart’s Mechanism.
41
Exact Straight Line Mechanisms :::
• PRINCIPLE :
‒ “If O be the point on the circumference of a circle having
diameter OP, let OA be any chord and B is any point on line of
OA such that,
OA ⤫ OB = Constant
Then locus of point B is a straight line ⏊ to OP.”

• On Extension of OP, draw ⏊
passing through point B,
which intersects OP at Q and
is on extension of OA.
• As point O is Fixed in Circle, if
OQ = Constant then B will
move along straight line
passing through Q and ⏊ to
OP.

• Here, OP = Constant as it’s Diameter.
• Now, if ( OA ⤫ OB ) = Constant then OQ = Constant.
• And so, point B will move along a straight line BQ ⏊ to OP.
43
Peaucellier’s Straight Line Mechanisms :::
• Let, OM be the fixed link;
• Links MA, AC, CB, BD, DA, OC & OD

• Join CD which intersects AB at point R.
• In Δ ORC and Δ BRC,
OC2 = OR2 + RC2 &
BC2 = BR2 + RC2.
• So,
Peaucellier’s Straight Line Mechanisms :::
• So, point B will always move along a straight path BQ ⏊ OP.
OC2 – BC2 = (OR2 + RC2 ) – (BR2 + RC2 )
= OR2 – BR2
= ( OR - BR )( OR + BR )
= OA ⤫ OB
• Since, OC and BC are links whose
length is constant. So, (OA ⤫ OB )
also equals to Constant.

Inversion of Mechanism :::
• “The process of choosing different links of chain as fixed.”
OR
• “By fixing each link at a time, we get as many mechanism as
the number of links, then each mechanism is called ‘Inversion’
of the original Kinematic Chain.”
• Most important Kinematic Chain are those which consists of 4
lower pairs, each being Sliding or Turning.

• Imp. thing in designing mechanism is to ensure that input
crank makes complete revolution relative to other links.
• To test whether any link in given Mechanism makes the
complete revolution or not can be tested according to
“GRASHOF’S LAW.”
52
GRASHOFF’S LAW :::
• As shown, the Shortest Link – 4 will make a complete revolution relative to
other links. So, Link – 4 = Crank / Driver.
• Link – 1, which is fixed = Fixed Link / Frame.
• Link – 2,which makes partial rotation/oscillation=Lever/Rocker/Follower.
• Link – 3, which connects Crank and Lever = Coupler / Connecting Rod.
• “For planar 4 bar
mechanism, the Sum of
lengths of Shortest and
Longest Links should not
be greater than the sum
of the Lengths of the
remaining Links if there
is to be Continuous
relative motion between 2
Links.”

Since α is a small angle, therefore substituting cos α = 1,
and sin α = α radians.
93
Double Hooke’s Joint
Let the driving, intermediate and driven shafts, in the same time, rotate through
angles ,  and 
This shows that the speed of the driving and driven shaft is constant. In other words, this
joint gives a velocity ratio equal to unity, if
1. The axes of the driving and driven shafts are in the same plane, and
2. The driving and driven shafts make equal angles with the intermediate shaft.
94
Velocity Analysis
Velocity analysis of any mechanism can be carried out by
various methods.
1. By graphical method
2. By relative velocity method
3. By instantaneous method
96
 By Graphical Method
The following points are to be considered while solving problems
by this method.
1. Draw the configuration design to a suitable scale.
2. Locate all fixed point in a mechanism as a common point in
velocity diagram.
3. Choose a suitable scale for the vector diagram velocity.
97
4. The velocity vector of each rotating link is r
to the link.
5. Velocity of each link in mechanism has both magnitude and
direction. Start from a point whose magnitude and direction is
known.
6. The points of the velocity diagram are indicated by small letters.
98
To explain the method let us take a few
specific examples.
1. Four – Bar Mechanism:
In a four bar chain ABCD link AD is fixed
and in 15 cm long. The crank AB is 4 cm
long rotates at 180 rpm (cw) while link CD
rotates about D is 8 cm long BC = AD and

 To Determine Velocity of Rubbing
Two links of a mechanism having turning point will be connected
by pins. When the links are motion they rub against pin surface.
The velocity of rubbing of pins depends on the angular velocity of
links relative to each other as well as direction.
106
For example: In a four bar mechanism we have
pins at points A, B, C and D.
 Vra = ab x ratios of pin A (rpa)
+ sign is used  ab is CW and Wbc is CCW i.e. when angular
velocities are in opposite directions use + sign when angular
velocities are in some directions use - ve sign.
VrC = (bc + cd) radius r
VrD = cd rpd

 Problem 1:

below:

CD = 56 mm and AD = 100 mm
At a given instant when o

AB is 10.5 r/s in CCW direction.
108
Determine,
i) Velocity of point C
ii) Velocity of point E on link BC when BE = 40 mm
iii) The angular velocity of link BC and CD
iv) The velocity of an offset point F on link BC, if BF = 45 mm, CF
= 30 mm and BCF is read clockwise.
v) The velocity of an offset point G on link CD, if CG = 24 mm,
DG = 44 mm and DCG is read clockwise.
vi) The velocity of rubbing of pins A, B, C and D. The ratio of the
pins are 30 mm, 40 mm, 25 mm and 35 mm respectively.

rotation determine velocity of point with respect to A (A is fixed
hence, it is zero velocity point).
Vba = BA x BA
= 10.5 x 0.05 = 0.525 m/s
111
Step – 3: To draw velocity vector diagram
choose a suitable scale, say 1 cm = 0.2 m/s.
 First locate zero velocity points.
 Draw a line r

(CCW) equal to 0.525 m/s.

to interest at C.
 Vcb is given vector bc Vbc = 0.44 m/s
 Vcd is given vector dc Vcd = 0.39 m/s
113
Step – 4: To determine velocity of point E (Absolute
velocity) on link BC, first locate the position of point E
on velocity vector diagram. This can be done by taking
corresponding ratios of lengths of links to vector
distance i.e.

Step – 6: To determine velocity of an offset point F
 Draw a line r

 Draw a line r
to BF from b on velocity vector diagram to
intersect the previously drawn line at ‘f’.
 From the point f to zero velocity point a, d and measure
vector fa/fd to get Vf = 0.495 m/s.
116
Step – 7: To determine velocity of an offset point.
 Draw a line r
to GC from C on velocity vector diagram.
 Draw a line r
to DG from d on velocity vector diagram to
intersect previously drawn line at g.
 Measure vector dg to get velocity of point G.
Vg = s/m305.0dg 
117
Step – 8: To determine rubbing velocity at pins
 Rubbing velocity at pin A will be
Vpa = ab x rad of pin A = 10.5 x 0.03 = 0.315 m/s
 Rubbing velocity at pin B will be
Vpb = (ab + cb) x rad of point at B.
[ab CCW and cbCW]
Vpb = (10.5 + 6.6) x 0.04 = 0.684 m/s.
 Rubbing velocity at point D will be
 cd x rpd of pin D

• Let the wheel A be keyed to the rotating shaft and the wheel B to the shaft, to
be rotated.
• A little consideration will show, that when the wheel A is rotated by a rotating
shaft, it will rotate the wheel B in the opposite direction as shown in Fig. (a).
• The wheel B will be rotated (by the wheel A) so long as the tangential force
exerted by the wheel A does not exceed the maximum frictional resistance
between the two wheels.
• But when the tangential force (P) exceeds the frictional resistance (F),
slipping will take place between the two wheels. Thus the friction drive is
not a positive drive.
In order to avoid the slipping, a
number of projections (called
teeth) as shown in Fig. (b), are
provided on the periphery of the
wheel A, which will fit into the
corresponding recesses on the
periphery of the wheel B. A
friction wheel with the teeth cut
on it is known as toothed
wheel or gear.

SPUR GEAR
• Teeth is parallel to axis of
rotation
• Transmit power from one
shaft to another parallel
shaft
• Used in Electric
screwdriver, oscillating
sprinkler, windup alarm
clock, washing machine and
clothes dryer
141
External and Internal spur Gear…
142
Helical Gear
• The teeth on helical gears are cut at an angle to the face of the
gear
• This gradual engagement makes helical gears operate much
more smoothly and quietly than spur gears
• One interesting thing about helical gears is that if the angles of
the gear teeth are correct, they can be mounted on
perpendicular shafts, adjusting the rotation angle by 90 degrees
143
Herringbone gears
• To avoid axial thrust, two
helical gears of opposite
hand can be mounted side by
side, to cancel resulting
thrust forces
• Herringbone gears are mostly
used on heavy machinery.
144
Rack and pinion
• Rack and pinion gears are used to convert rotation (From the
pinion) into linear motion (of the rack)
• A perfect example of this is the steering system on many cars
145
Bevel gears
• Bevel gears are useful when the direction of a shaft's rotation needs to
be changed
• They are usually mounted on shafts that are 90 degrees apart, but can
be designed to work at other angles as well
• The teeth on bevel gears can be straight, spiral or hypoid
• locomotives, marine applications, automobiles, printing presses,
cooling towers, power plants, steel plants, railway track inspection
machines, etc.
146
Straight and Spiral Bevel Gears
147
WORM AND WORM GEAR
• Worm gears are used when large gear reductions are needed. It is common for
worm gears to have reductions of 20:1, and even up to 300:1 or greater
• Many worm gears have an interesting property that no other gear set has: the worm
can easily turn the gear, but the gear cannot turn the worm
• Worm gears are used widely in material handling and transportation machinery,
machine tools, automobiles etc

NOMENCLATURE OF SPUR GEARS
149
150
• Pitch circle: It is an imaginary circle which by pure rolling action
would give the same motion as the actual gear.
• Pitch circle diameter: It is the diameter of the pitch circle. The size of
the gear is usually specified by the pitch circle diameter. It is also
known as pitch diameter.
• Pitch point: It is a common point of contact between two pitch circles.
• Pressure angle or angle of obliquity: It is the angle between the
common normal to two gear teeth at the point of contact and the
common tangent at the pitch point. It is usually denoted by φ. The
standard pressure angles are 14 1/2 ° and 20°.
151
• Addendum: It is the radial distance of a tooth from the pitch circle to
the top of the tooth.
• Dedendum: It is the radial distance of a tooth from the pitch circle to
the bottom of the tooth.
• Addendum circle: It is the circle drawn through the top of the teeth
and is concentric with the pitch circle.
• Dedendum circle: It is the circle drawn through the bottom of the
teeth. It is also called root circle.
Note : Root circle diameter = Pitch circle diameter × cos φ
where φ is the pressure angle.
152
Circular pitch: It is the distance measured on the circumference
of the pitch circle from a point of one tooth to the
corresponding point on the next tooth. It is usually denoted by
Pc ,Mathematically,
A little consideration will show that the two gears will mesh together
correctly, if the two wheels have the same circular pitch.
Note : If D1 and D2 are the diameters of the two meshing gears
having the teeth T1 and T2 respectively, then for them to mesh
correctly,
153
Diametral pitch: It is the ratio of number of teeth to the pitch circle
diameter in millimetres. It is denoted by pd. Mathematically,
Module: It is the ratio of the pitch circle diameter in millimeters to the
number of teeth. It is usually denoted by m.
Mathematically,
Clearance: It is the radial distance from the top of the tooth to the
bottom of the tooth, in a meshing gear. A circle passing
through the top of the meshing gear is known as clearance
circle.
Total depth: It is the radial distance between the addendum and the
dedendum circles of a gear. It is equal to the sum of the
addendum and dedendum.
154
Working depth: It is the radial distance from the addendum circle to the
clearance circle. It is equal to the sum of the addendum of the two
meshing gears.
Tooth thickness: It is the width of the tooth measured along the pitch
circle.
Tooth space: It is the width of space between the two adjacent teeth
measured along the pitch circle.
Backlash: It is the difference between the tooth space and the tooth
thickness, as measured along the pitch circle. Theoretically, the
backlash should be zero, but in actual practice some backlash must be
allowed to prevent jamming of the teeth due to tooth errors and
thermal expansion.
155
Face of tooth: It is the surface of the gear tooth above the pitch
surface.
Flank of tooth: It is the surface of the gear tooth below the pitch
surface.
Top land: It is the surface of the top of the tooth.
Face width: It is the width of the gear tooth measured parallel to
its axis.
Profile: It is the curve formed by the face and flank of the tooth.
Fillet radius: It is the radius that connects the root circle to the
profile of the tooth.
156
Path of contact: It is the path traced by the point of contact
of two teeth from the beginning to the end of engagement.
Length of the path of contact: It is the length of the
common normal cut-off by the addendum circles of the
wheel and pinion.
Arc of contact: It is the path traced by a point on the pitch
circle from the beginning to the end of engagement of a
given pair of teeth. The arc of contact consists of two
parts, i.e.
(a) Arc of approach. It is the portion of the arc of contact
from the beginning of the engagement to the pitch point.
(b) Arc of recess: It is the portion of the arc of contact
from the pitch point to the end of the engagement of a
pair of teeth.
157
• The law of gearing states the
condition which must be fulfilled
by the gear tooth profiles to
maintain a constant angular
velocity ratio between two
gears.
• Figure shows two bodies 1 and
2 representing a portion of the
two gears in mesh.
Condition for Constant Velocity Ratio of Toothed Wheels–Law of Gearing
A point C on the tooth profile of the gear 1 is in contact with a point D on the
tooth profile of the gear 2. The two curves in contact at points C or D must
have a common normal at the point. Let it be n - n.
Let,
ω1= instantaneous angular velocity of the gear 1 (CW)
ω2= instantaneous angular velocity of the gear 2 (CCW)
vc = linear velocity of C
vd = linear velocity of D
158
• Then vc = ω1 AC ; in a direction
perpendicular to AC or at an angle
α to n - n,
• vd = ω2 BD ; in a direction
perpendicular to BD or at an angle
β to n - n.
Condition for Constant Velocity Ratio of Toothed Wheels–Law of Gearing
Now, if the curved surfaces of the teeth of two gears are to remain in contact,
one surface may slide relative to the other along the common tangent t-t.
The relative motion between the surfaces along the common normal n - n
must be zero to avoid the separation, or the penetration of the two teeth into
each other.
Component of vc along n - n = vc cos α
Component of vd along n - n = vd cos β
Relative motion along n - n= vc cos α- vd cos β
159
• Draw perpendiculars AE and BF on
n-n from points A and B
respectively.
Then CAE =α and
DBF = β

• Thus, it is seen that the centre line AB is divided at P by the common
normal in the inverse ratio of the angular velocities of the two gears.
• If it is desired that the angular velocities of two gears remain constant, the
common normal at the point of contact of the two teeth should always
pass through a fixed point P which divides the line of centres in the
inverse ratio of angular velocities of two gears.
• As seen earlier, P is also the point of contact of two pitch circles which
divides the line of centres in the inverse ratio of the angular velocities of the
two circles and is the pitch point.
• Thus, for constant angular velocity ratio of the two gears, the common
normal at the point of contact of the two mating teeth must pass
through the pitch point.

• In actual practice following are the two types of teeth commonly
used
1. Cycloidal teeth ; and 2. Involute teeth.
Cycloidal Teeth
• A cycloid is the curve traced by a point on the circumference of
a circle which rolls without slipping on a fixed straight line.
• When a circle rolls without slipping on the outside of a fixed
circle, the curve traced by a point on the circumference of a
circle is known as epi-cycloid.
• On the other hand, if a circle rolls without slipping on the inside
of a fixed circle, then the curve traced by a point on the
circumference of a circle is called hypo-cycloid.
163
164
165
166
Construction of cycloidal teeth for Rack
• In Fig. (a), the fixed line or pitch line of a rack is shown. When the
circle C rolls without slipping above the pitch line in the direction as
indicated in Fig, then the point P on the circle traces epi-cycloid PA.
This represents the face of the cycloidal tooth profile.
• When the circle D rolls without slipping below the pitch line, then the
point P on the circle D traces hypo-cycloid PB, which represents the
flank of the cycloidal tooth. The profile BPA is one side of the
cycloidal rack tooth.
Similarly, the two curves P' A' and
P'B' forming the opposite side of
the tooth profile are traced by the
point P' when the circles C and D
roll in the opposite directions.
167
Construction of cycloidal teeth for gear
• The cycloidal teeth of a gear may be constructed as shown in Fig.
• The circle C is rolled without slipping on the outside of the pitch circle
and the point P on the circle C traces epi-cycloid PA, which represents
the face of the cycloidal tooth.
• The circle D is rolled on the inside of pitch circle and the point P on the
circle D traces hypo-cycloid PB, which represents the flank of the tooth
profile.
The profile BPA is one side of the
cycloidal tooth. The opposite side
of the tooth is traced as explained
above.
168
• An involute of a circle is a plane curve generated by a point on a
tangent, which rolls on the circle without slipping.
169
Involute Teeth
• An involute of a circle is a plane curve generated by a point on a
tangent, which rolls on the circle without slipping as shown in Fig.
• In connection with toothed wheels, the circle is known as base circle.
The involute is traced as follows :
A3, the tangent A3T to the involute is perpendicular
to P3A3 and P3A3 is the normal to the involute.
In other words, normal at any point of an
involute is a tangent to the base circle.
170
Comparison Between Involute and Cycloidal Gears
• In actual practice, the involute gears are more commonly used as compared to cycloidal
gears, due to the following advantages :
Advantages of involute gears
• The most important advantage of the involute gears is that the centre distance for a pair
of involute gears can be varied within limits without changing the velocity ratio. This is
not true for cycloidal gears which requires exact centre distance to be maintained.
• In involute gears, the pressure angle, from the start of the engagement of teeth to the
end of the engagement, remains constant. It is necessary for smooth running and less
wear of gears. But in cycloidal gears, the pressure angle is maximum at the beginning of
engagement, reduces to zero at pitch point, starts decreasing and again becomes maximum
at the end of engagement. This results in less smooth running of gears.
• The face and flank of involute teeth are generated by a single curve where as in cycloidal
gears, double curves (i.e. epi-cycloid and hypo-cycloid) are required for the face and flank
respectively. Thus the involute teeth are easy to manufacture than cycloidal teeth. In
involute system, the basic rack has straight teeth and the same can be cut with simple
tools.
• Note : The only disadvantage of the involute teeth is that the interference occurs with
pinions having smaller number of teeth. This may be avoided by altering the heights of
addendum and dedendum of the mating teeth or the angle of obliquity of the teeth.
171
Advantages of cycloidal gears
Following are the advantages of cycloidal gears :
• Since the cycloidal teeth have wider flanks, therefore the cycloidal
gears are stronger than the involute gears, for the same pitch.
• In cycloidal gears, the contact takes place between a convex flank and
concave surface, whereas in involute gears, the convex surfaces are in
contact. This condition results in less wear in cycloidal gears as
compared to involute gears. However the difference in wear is
negligible.
• In cycloidal gears, the interference does not occur at all. Though
there are advantages of cycloidal gears but they are outweighed by the
greater simplicity and flexibility of the involute gears.
172
• Fig. shows a pinion with centre O1, in mesh with wheel or gear with centre
O2.
• MN is the common tangent to the base circles and KL is the path of contact
between the two mating teeth.
• The tip of tooth on the pinion will then undercut the tooth on the wheel at the
root and remove part of the involute profile of tooth on the wheel. This effect
is known as interference, and occurs when the teeth are being cut.
• In brief, the phenomenon when the tip of tooth undercuts the root on its
mating gear is known as interference.
• A little consideration will
show, that if the radius of the
addendum circle of pinion is
increased to O 1 N, the point
of contact L will move from L
to N.
• When this radius is further
increased, the point of
contact L will be on the inside
of base circle of wheel and
not on the involute profile of
tooth on wheel.
173
• Similarly, if the radius of the addendum circle of the wheel increases beyond
O2M, then the tip of tooth on wheel will cause interference with the tooth on
pinion. The points M and N are called interference points.
• From the above discussion, we conclude that the interference may only be
avoided, if the point of contact between the two teeth is always on the
involute profiles of both the teeth. In other words, interference may only be
prevented, if the addendum circles of the two mating gears cut the common
tangent to the base circles between the points of tangency.
• When interference is just avoided, the maximum length of path of contact is
MN when the maximum addendum circles for pinion and wheel pass through
Obviously, interference may be
avoided if the path of contact
does not extend beyond
interference points. The limiting
value of the radius of the
addendum circle of the pinion is
O1N and of the wheel is O2M.

Methods of elimination of Gear tooth
Interference
In certain spur designs if interference exists, it can be
overcome by:
1. Removing the cross hatched tooth tips i.e., using stub
teeth.
2. Increasing the number of teeth on the mating pinion.
3. Increasing the pressure angle
4. Tooth profile modification or profile shifting
5. Increasing the centre distance.
177
Minimum Number of Teeth on the wheel in Order to Avoid
Interference
• We have already discussed that in order to avoid interference, the addendum
circles for the two mating gears must cut the common tangent to the base
circles between the points of tangency. The limiting condition reaches, when
the addendum circles of pinion and wheel pass through points N and M
178
Note: Use this formula while
calculating minimum number
of teeth of wheel and then use
gear ration to calculate the
teeth of pinion
179
Minimum Number of Teeth on the Pinion in Order to
Avoid Interference
• We have already discussed that in order to avoid interference, the addendum

circles between the points of tangency. The limiting condition reaches, when
the addendum circles of pinion and wheel pass through points N and M

Two 20° involute spur gears mesh externally and give a velocity
ratio of 3. Module is 3 mm and the addendum is equal to 1.1

187
The following data relate to two meshing involute gears: Number of teeth
on the gear wheel = 60 ; pressure angle = 20o ; Gear ratio = 1.5; Speed of the
gear wheel = 100 rpm; Module = 8 mm; The addendum on each wheel is such
that the path of approach and the path of recess on each side are 40% of the
maximum possible length each. Determine the addendum for the pinion and the
gear and the length of the arc of contact.
188
A pinion of 20o involute teeth rotating at 275 rpm meshes with a gear and
provides a gear ratio of 1.8. The number of teeth on the pinion is 20 and the
module is 8 mm. If the interference is just avoided, determine (i) the addenda
on the wheel and the pinion (ii) the path of contact, and (iii) the maximum
velocity of sliding on both sides of the pitch point.
189
The pinion 1 is the driver and is rotating clockwise.
The wheel 2 is driven in the counter-clockwise
direction. EF is their common tangent to the base
circles.
Contact of the two teeth is made where the
addendum circle of the wheel meets the line of
action EF, i.e., at C and is broken where the
addendum circle of the pinion meets the line of
action, i.e., at D.
CD is then the path of contact.
Let r = pitch circle radius of pinion
R = pitch circle radius of wheel
ra = addendum circle radius of pinion
Ra = addendum circle radius of wheel.
Path of contact = path of approach + path of
recess
CD = CP + PD

• The arc of contact is the distance travelled by a point on either
pitch circle of the two wheels during the period of contact of a
pair of teeth.
• In Fig., at the beginning of engagement, the driving involute is
shown as GH; when the point of contact is at P it is shown as JK
and when at the end of engagement, it is DL.
• The arc of contact is P'P" and it consists of the arc of approach
P'P and the arc of recess PP".
Let the time to traverse the arc of approach is ta.
Then,
Arc of approach = P'P = Tangential velocity of P’ x Time of approach
192
Arc FK is equal to the path FP as the point P is on the generator
FP that rolls on the base circle FHK to generate the involute PK.
Similarly, arc FH = Path FC.
Arc of recess = PP" = Tang. vel. of P x Time of recess
193
• The arc of contact is the length of the pitch circle traversed by
a point on it during the mating of a pair of teeth.
• Thus, all the teeth lying in between the arc of contact will be
meshing with the teeth on the other wheel.
Therefore, the number of teeth in contact =
• As the ratio of the arc of contact to the circular pitch is also the
contact ratio, the number of teeth is also expressed in terms of
contact ratio.
• For continuous transmission of motion, at least one tooth of
one wheel must be in contact with another tooth of the second
wheel.
• Therefore, n must be greater than unity.

Two 20° gears have a module pitch of 4 mm. The number of teeth
on gears 1 and 2 are 40 and 24 respectively. If the gear 2 rotates
at 600 rpm, determine the velocity of sliding when the contact
is at the lip of the tooth of gear 2. Take addendum equal to one
module. Also, find the maximum velocity of sliding.
Let pinion (gear 2) be the driver. The
tip of the driving wheel is in contact
with a tooth of the driven wheel at the
end of engagement. Thus, it is
required to find the path of recess
which is obtained from the dimensions
of the driving wheel.
201
(ii) In case the gear wheel is the driver, the tip of the pinion will be in contact
with the flank of a tooth of the gear wheel at the beginning of contact. Thus, it is
required to find the distance of the point of contact from the pitch point, i.e.. path
of approach. The path of approach is found from the dimensions of the driven
wheel which is again pinion.
Thus, path of approach
=9.458mm, same as before and velocity of sliding = 950.8 mm/s
Thus, it is immaterial whether the driver is the gear wheel or the pinion, the
velocity of
sliding is the same when the contact is at the tip of the pinion. The maximum
velocity of sliding will depend upon the larger path considering any of the
wheels to be the driver. Consider pinion to be the driver. Path of recess = 9.458
mm
Path of approach
This is also the path of recess if the wheel becomes the driver.

Gears – What are they?
Gears are wheels with teeth. Gears mesh together and
make things turn. Gears are used to transfer motion or power
from one moving part to another.
Sports cars go fast (have speed)
but cannot pull any weight.
Big trucks can pull heavy loads
(have power), but cannot go fast.
Gears cause this.
Gears increase or decrease the
power or speed. 203
Gears are generally used for
following different reasons
To reverse the direction of rotation
To increase or decrease the speed of rotation
To move rotational motion to a different axis

Cam Terminology
• Base Circle: It is the smallest circle tangent to the cam profile
drawn from the centre of rotation of a radial cam.
• Trace Point: It is a reference point on the follower to trace the
cam profile such as the knife-edge of a knife-edged follower and
centre of the roller of a roller follower.
• Pitch Curve: It is the curve drawn by the trace point assuming
that the cam is fixed, and the trace point of the follower rotates
around the cam.
• Pressure Angle: It is the angle between the normal to the pitch
curve at a point and the direction of the follower motion.
• Pitch Point: It is the point on the pitch curve at which the pressure
angle is maximum.
• Pitch Circle: It is the circle passing through the pitch point and
concentric with the base circle.
• Prime Circle: The Smallest Circle drawn tangent to the pitch curve
is known as the Prime Circle

Introduction • Let the wheel A be keyed to the rotating shaft and the wheel B to the shaft, to be rotated. • A little consideration will show, that when the wheel A is rotated by a rotating shaft, it will rotate the wheel B in the opposite direction as shown in Fig. (a). • The wheel B will be rotated (by the wheel A) so long as the tangential force exerted by the wheel A does not exceed the maximum frictional resistance between the two wheels. • But when the tangential force (P) exceeds the frictional resistance (F), slipping will take place between the two wheels. Thus the friction drive is not a positive drive. In order to avoid the slipping, a number of projections (called teeth) as shown in Fig. (b), are provided on the periphery of the wheel A, which will fit into the corresponding recesses on the periphery of the wheel B. A friction wheel with the teeth cut on it is known as toothed wheel or gear. 139

  • 143. Helical Gear • The teeth on helical gears are cut at an angle to the face of the gear • This gradual engagement makes helical gears operate much more smoothly and quietly than spur gears • One interesting thing about helical gears is that if the angles of the gear teeth are correct, they can be mounted on perpendicular shafts, adjusting the rotation angle by 90 degrees 143
  • 144. Herringbone gears • To avoid axial thrust, two helical gears of opposite hand can be mounted side by side, to cancel resulting thrust forces • Herringbone gears are mostly used on heavy machinery. 144
  • 145. Rack and pinion • Rack and pinion gears are used to convert rotation (From the pinion) into linear motion (of the rack) • A perfect example of this is the steering system on many cars 145
  • 146. Bevel gears • Bevel gears are useful when the direction of a shaft's rotation needs to be changed • They are usually mounted on shafts that are 90 degrees apart, but can be designed to work at other angles as well • The teeth on bevel gears can be straight, spiral or hypoid • locomotives, marine applications, automobiles, printing presses, cooling towers, power plants, steel plants, railway track inspection machines, etc. 146

It is also called root circle. Note : Root circle diameter = Pitch circle diameter × cos φ where φ is the pressure angle. 152
  • 153. Circular pitch: It is the distance measured on the circumference of the pitch circle from a point of one tooth to the corresponding point on the next tooth.

Backlash: It is the difference between the tooth space and the tooth thickness, as measured along the pitch circle. Theoretically, the backlash should be zero, but in actual practice some backlash must be allowed to prevent jamming of the teeth due to tooth errors and thermal expansion. 155

  • 158. • The law of gearing states the condition which must be fulfilled by the gear tooth profiles to maintain a constant angular velocity ratio between two gears. • Figure shows two bodies 1 and 2 representing a portion of the two gears in mesh. Condition for Constant Velocity Ratio of Toothed Wheels–Law of Gearing A point C on the tooth profile of the gear 1 is in contact with a point D on the tooth profile of the gear 2. The two curves in contact at points C or D must have a common normal at the point. Let it be n - n.

  • 163. • In actual practice following are the two types of teeth commonly used 1. Cycloidal teeth ; and 2. Involute teeth. Cycloidal Teeth • A cycloid is the curve traced by a point on the circumference of a circle which rolls without slipping on a fixed straight line. • When a circle rolls without slipping on the outside of a fixed circle, the curve traced by a point on the circumference of a circle is known as epi-cycloid. • On the other hand, if a circle rolls without slipping on the inside of a fixed circle, then the curve traced by a point on the circumference of a circle is called hypo-cycloid. 163

  • 167. Construction of cycloidal teeth for Rack • In Fig. (a), the fixed line or pitch line of a rack is shown. When the circle C rolls without slipping above the pitch line in the direction as indicated in Fig, then the point P on the circle traces epi-cycloid PA. This represents the face of the cycloidal tooth profile. • When the circle D rolls without slipping below the pitch line, then the point P on the circle D traces hypo-cycloid PB, which represents the flank of the cycloidal tooth. The profile BPA is one side of the cycloidal rack tooth. Similarly, the two curves P' A' and P'B' forming the opposite side of the tooth profile are traced by the point P' when the circles C and D roll in the opposite directions. 167
  • 168. Construction of cycloidal teeth for gear • The cycloidal teeth of a gear may be constructed as shown in Fig. • The circle C is rolled without slipping on the outside of the pitch circle and the point P on the circle C traces epi-cycloid PA, which represents the face of the cycloidal tooth. • The circle D is rolled on the inside of pitch circle and the point P on the circle D traces hypo-cycloid PB, which represents the flank of the tooth profile. The profile BPA is one side of the cycloidal tooth. The opposite side of the tooth is traced as explained above. 168
  • 169. • An involute of a circle is a plane curve generated by a point on a tangent, which rolls on the circle without slipping. 169
  • 170. Involute Teeth • An involute of a circle is a plane curve generated by a point on a tangent, which rolls on the circle without slipping as shown in Fig. • In connection with toothed wheels, the circle is known as base circle. The involute is traced as follows : A3, the tangent A3T to the involute is perpendicular to P3A3 and P3A3 is the normal to the involute. In other words, normal at any point of an involute is a tangent to the base circle. 170
  • 171. Comparison Between Involute and Cycloidal Gears • In actual practice, the involute gears are more commonly used as compared to cycloidal gears, due to the following advantages : Advantages of involute gears • The most important advantage of the involute gears is that the centre distance for a pair of involute gears can be varied within limits without changing the velocity ratio. This is not true for cycloidal gears which requires exact centre distance to be maintained. • In involute gears, the pressure angle, from the start of the engagement of teeth to the end of the engagement, remains constant. It is necessary for smooth running and less wear of gears. But in cycloidal gears, the pressure angle is maximum at the beginning of engagement, reduces to zero at pitch point, starts decreasing and again becomes maximum at the end of engagement. This results in less smooth running of gears. • The face and flank of involute teeth are generated by a single curve where as in cycloidal gears, double curves (i.e. epi-cycloid and hypo-cycloid) are required for the face and flank respectively. Thus the involute teeth are easy to manufacture than cycloidal teeth. In involute system, the basic rack has straight teeth and the same can be cut with simple tools. • Note : The only disadvantage of the involute teeth is that the interference occurs with pinions having smaller number of teeth. This may be avoided by altering the heights of addendum and dedendum of the mating teeth or the angle of obliquity of the teeth. 171
  • 172. Advantages of cycloidal gears Following are the advantages of cycloidal gears : • Since the cycloidal teeth have wider flanks, therefore the cycloidal gears are stronger than the involute gears, for the same pitch. • In cycloidal gears, the contact takes place between a convex flank and concave surface, whereas in involute gears, the convex surfaces are in contact. This condition results in less wear in cycloidal gears as compared to involute gears. However the difference in wear is negligible. • In cycloidal gears, the interference does not occur at all. Though there are advantages of cycloidal gears but they are outweighed by the greater simplicity and flexibility of the involute gears. 172
  • 173. • Fig. shows a pinion with centre O1, in mesh with wheel or gear with centre O2. • MN is the common tangent to the base circles and KL is the path of contact between the two mating teeth. • The tip of tooth on the pinion will then undercut the tooth on the wheel at the root and remove part of the involute profile of tooth on the wheel. This effect is known as interference, and occurs when the teeth are being cut. • In brief, the phenomenon when the tip of tooth undercuts the root on its mating gear is known as interference. • A little consideration will show, that if the radius of the addendum circle of pinion is increased to O 1 N, the point of contact L will move from L to N. • When this radius is further increased, the point of contact L will be on the inside of base circle of wheel and not on the involute profile of tooth on wheel. 173
  • 174. • Similarly, if the radius of the addendum circle of the wheel increases beyond O2M, then the tip of tooth on wheel will cause interference with the tooth on pinion. The points M and N are called interference points. • From the above discussion, we conclude that the interference may only be avoided, if the point of contact between the two teeth is always on the involute profiles of both the teeth. In other words, interference may only be prevented, if the addendum circles of the two mating gears cut the common tangent to the base circles between the points of tangency. • When interference is just avoided, the maximum length of path of contact is MN when the maximum addendum circles for pinion and wheel pass through Obviously, interference may be avoided if the path of contact does not extend beyond interference points. The limiting value of the radius of the addendum circle of the pinion is O1N and of the wheel is O2M. 174

Increasing the number of teeth on the mating pinion. 3. Increasing the pressure angle 4. Tooth profile modification or profile shifting 5. Increasing the centre distance. 177
  • 178.
