Design steps
Select standard full depth gears with pressure angle of 20o or 25o.
Outcome is
Diameter and material
23
Design steps
Calculate the number of teeth for pinion and gear, determine the actual
J and check against the assumed one, iterate if needed.
The number of teeth on the pinion should be over 18 to avoid interference.
Ken Youssefi
Outcome is
Diametral pitch, P

Design Example
Design a pair of spur gears to transfer power from a 25 hp motor to a fan.
The motor turns at 1000 rpm and the desired fan speed is 500 rpm. Specify
the material, diameter, and number of teeth for both gears.
Standard full depth gears with pressure angle, = 20o, will be used.

Transmitted load
hp = Wt V / 33000
Pitch line velocity, ft/min.
V = d / 12
Wt = (1.26 x 105) hp / dP P
Wt = (1.26 x 105) 25 / dP 1000
Wt = 3150 / dP

Design Example
Check assumption for J
NP = P dP = 16 x 2.75 = 44
NG = P dG = 16 x (2.75x2) = 88
