PANTHERID: _ keY EML4501 FALL ‘13 EXAM 01 Figure A Figure B Figure C Figure D SO al Figure A above shows a two level planetary gear system, cach stage has a sun gear, Ns = 10, and three planet gears, Np=30, Figure B isolates the smaller planetary system. In this system, the outer ring is welded to the center shafts of the planet gears on the larger planteary system and is free to rotate. The shafts of the planet gears are ‘welded to a back plate but the gears are free to rotate in place. The sun gear is also free to rotate and is, attached to an output shaft. Figure C isolates the larger planetary system. In this system, the outer ring is attached to a motor and rotates as an input shaft. The planet gears are attached to a rigid ring and the entire ring and shaft assembly can rotate around the center point. The sun gear is completely fixed and cannot rotate at al Figure D shows a side view of the assembly. The outer ring rotates, spinning the larger planets; the larger planets are connected to a rigid ring that rotates; the rotating rigid ring spins the smaller planets (that are fixed in place); the smaller planets spin the smaller sun that rotates the output shaft. ‘Question: How many rotations of the output shaft occur and if you rotate the larger input ring one clockwise rotation? Does the output shaft spin clockwise or counter clockwise?

The gears appear in the rear legs of a species of grasshopper as shown in the images above. If the grasshopper has a mass of 30mg and can jump 2 m vertically, determine the transmitted load on the grasshopper’s gear teeth. Assume the “gears” rotate at a speed of 1000 rev/sec, the diameter of the gears is 0.1 mm, and the duration of a grasshopper jump is 0.1 sec. Note: Potential energy = PE = mgh (g = 9.81 m/s?)

The pinion speed is 300 rev/min, the face width 2 in, and the diametral pitch 6 tecth/in, The gears are grade 1 steel, through-hardened at 200 Brinell, made to No. 6 quality standards, tinerowned, and are to be accurately and rigidly mounted. Assume a pinion life of 10° eycles and @ reliability of 0.90. The assembly is driven by a 5 HP motor. {In this situation, the pinion tooth safety factor for contact is 1.06. Ifyou change the design by using ipinion with 22 teeth (leaving al other factors the same), what is the new pinion tooth safety factor in contact? Would you recommend this new design?
