Types of Gear Trains

Question 1
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Number of teeth on a wheel per unit of its pitch diameter is called
module
diametral pitch
circular pitch
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
None.
Question 2
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
The type of gears used to connect two non parallel and non intersecting shafts is
Spur gear
Helical gear
Bevel gear
Spiral gear
Explanation:
Spiral gear is used connect two non parallel and non intersecting shafts. Spur gear is used to connect two parallel and coplanar shafts.
Question 3

Pass Ratio : 100%
Which type of gear train is used in clock mechanism to join hour hand and minute hand?
Simple gear train
Compound gear train
Reverted gear train
Epicyclic gear train
Explanation:
The epicyclic gear trains are used in the back gear of lathe, differential gears of the automobiles, hoists, pulley blocks, wrist watches etc.
Question 4
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
The gear used to convert rotary motion into translating motion is
Worm and wheel
Crown gear
Rack and pinion
Spiral Bevel gear
Explanation:
Rack and pinion gears are used to convert rotation into linear motion. The flat, toothed part is the rack and the gear is the pinion. A piston coaxial to the rack provides hydraulic assistance force, and an open centered rotary valve controls the assist level.
Question 5
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
In which of the following type of gear train the first gear and the last gear are co-axial.
Simple gear train
Compound gear train
Reverted gear train
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
When the axes of the first gear (i.e. first driver) and the last gear (i.e. last driven or follower) are co-axial, then the gear train is known as reverted gear train.
Question 6
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
Which gear train is used for higher velocity ratios in a small space?
Simple gear train
Compound gear train
Reverted gear train
Epicyclic gear train
Explanation:
The epicyclic gear trains are useful for transmitting high velocity ratios with gears of moderate size in a comparatively lesser space. The epicyclic gear trains are used in the back gear of lathe, differential gears of the automobiles, hoists, pulley blocks, wrist watches etc.
Question 7
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
The circular pitch of a gear is given by
Πd/t
Πd/2t
2Πd/t
Πd/3t
Explanation:
The distance measured along the pitch circle from a point on one tooth to the corresponding point on an adjacent tooth is called circular pitch.
Question 8
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
In a simple gear train, if the number of idle gears is odd, then the motion of driven gear will
be opposite as that of driving gear
be same as that of driving gear
depend upon the number of teeth on the driving gear
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
None.
Question 9
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
A fixed gear having 200 teeth is in mesh with another gear having 50 teeth. The two gears are connected by an arm. The number of turns made by the smaller gear for one revolution of arm about the centre of bigger gear is
2
4
3
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
N1 = 200
Question 10

To connect two parallel and coplanar shafts the following type of gearing is used
Spur gear
Bevel gear
Spiral gear
None of the mentioned
Explanation:
Spiral gear is used connect two non parallel and non intersecting shafts. Spur gear is used to connect two parallel and coplanar shafts.
