Deflections of Shafts in Gear-Boxes
CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION 1.1GEARBOXES: Usually, found near motors of some sort, gearboxes are used to reduce the load on the motor by using the motor 's own momentum to keep it turning. Once a motor has reached a number of revolutions per minute, it is advisable for the operator to increase the gear, to drop the revolutions on the motor, yet still keep the same amount of power created. This reduces wear on the engine, allows more control, and allows greater speeds. Although, in practise, the main use of a Gearbox is to act as a reduction gear. These can be variable or non-variable, depending on the application. In other words, if when the motor is turning 2500 rpm the output shaft is turning 500, the gearbox is reducing the number of revolutions from input to output. This is usually achieved by use of cog wheels. If the input shaft is connected to a small cog, the output shaft is connected to a large, and two are meshed together in the gear box, then it will take several turns of the input shaft to make the output turn once. This not only decreases wear on the motor, but also allows greater acceleration. Larger the reduction ratio, larger is the acceleration.
This lens will look at a few things associated with gearboxes, such as design, manufacture, how they work and similar pieces.
1.2 FUNCTIONS OF GEAR BOX: A gear box is containing many gears of different number of teeth, arranged in different shafts which may be solid or spindle shaft. In solid shaft the gear are fitted in such a way that they can rotate only and cannot move in axial direction and also some gap is provided between two gears, where as in splined shaft two or three gear, which are already meshed together to act as a single unit are fitted in such way that they can rotate only and cannot move in the axial direction and also some gap is provided in between two gears, whereas in splined shafts two or three gears

    By joining together two or more gears of different sizes, both the speed and the torque are changed from the input gear to the output gear. The larger gear within a system will always move slower and have more torque than the smaller gear. Gear Ratio (GR) is a comparison between the driver gear, also called the input (connected to the power source), and the gear being driven, or the output. Below are four ways to determine the gear ratio in figure 1.…

    Among those inventions that are credited with passing into general practical use are the strut bridge, the automated bobbin winder, the rolling mill, the machine for testing the tensile strength of wire and the lens-grinding machine pictured at right. In the lens-grinding machine, the hand rotation of the grinding wheel operates an angle-gear, which rotates a shaft, turning a geared dish in which sits the glass or crystal to be crushed. A single action rotates both surfaces at a speed ratio determined by the…

    This paper will discuss the technology of sequential gearboxes. Relatively new technology, the sequential gearbox has been applied mostly in ATV 's, motorcycles, and the automobile racing industry. Recently this technology has begun to reach passenger cars. There are three main points of discussion; the workings of a manual transmission, how a sequential gearbox works and the advantages of them, and the applications of it today. The sequential gearbox is extremely revolutionary and is only used in high-end passenger cars, but maybe one day it will be a luxury the majority of the population will be able to experience.…
