Q2 A gear chain is used to transmit power from the input shaft to output shaft as shown in Figure 2. Gear A meshes with B and gear C meshes with D. Gears B and C is a compound gear. The number of teeth on gear A: 55 and the module of A & B: 2 The number of teeth on gear D: 30 and the module of C & D: 4 The distance between the input shaft and the intermediate shaft: 80 mm The distance between the output shaft and the intermediate shaft: 160 mm The input shaft is rotating at 600 RPM. A (a) (b) (c) (d) Input Shaft X B D Figure 2 What are the numbers of teeth of gears B and C? Calculate the gear ratio of the gear train; -X Output Shaft i) the driving power on the input shaft; ii) the power transmitted on the output shaft; iii) the torque on the output shaft. 80mm 160mm (8 marks) (4 marks) Calculate the speed of output shaft in RPM. (4 marks) If the driving torque on the input shaft is 200 Nm and the efficiency of the gear train is 95%, (3 marks) (3 marks) (3 marks)
