EMD223 project (due 23rd may 2019, Thursday)

A right side of a vehicle axle with its dimensions is as shown in figure 1. The axle consists of a
pulley (or gear), a shaft, two bearings and a wheel hub. There is 2850 N force applied
upward at the tire and the wheel hub is holding the wheel. The vehicle moves at maximum
speed of 55 km/h.

2850N

With the motor specified for each group, do as follows:

Title 1 (G1, G2, G3, G4)
Yuken

Motor maximum torque of 180 Nm and 3000 RPM maximum speed. The pulley is replaced
by gears.
- Decide the specifications of the gears (gear ratio, materials, width, pitch, pressure
angle, etc.)
