Toothed Gearing

Question 1
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 33%
The product of the diametral pitch and circular pitch is equal to
1
1/Ï€
Ï€
2Ï€
Explanation:
Diametral pitch, pd = T/D = π/pc
Question 2
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 50%
Involute profile is preferred to cyloidal because
the profile is easy to cut
only one curve is required to cut
the rack has straight line profile and hence can be cut accurately
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
The face and flank of involute teeth are generated by a single curve where as in cycloidal
Question 3
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
If the module of a gear be m, the number of teeth T and pitch circle diameter D, then
m = D/T
D = T/m
m = D/2T
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
Module, m = D /T.
Question 4
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 33%
The radial distance of a tooth from the pitch circle to the bottom of the tooth, is called
dedendum
addendum
clearance
working depth
Explanation:
Addendum is the radial distance of a tooth from the pitch circle to the top of the tooth.
Question 5
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 50%
The maximum length of arc of contact for two mating gears, in order to avoid interference, is
(r + R) sin φ
(r + R) cos φ
(r + R) tan φ
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
Interference may only be prevented, if the addendum circles of the two mating gears cut the
Question 6
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
An imaginary circle which by pure rolling action, gives the same motion as the actual gear, is called
addendum circle
dedendum circle
pitch circle
clearance circle
Explanation:
Pitch circle is an imaginary circle which by pure rolling action, would give the same motion as the actual gear.
Question 7
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 50%
Mitre gears are used for
great speed reduction
equal speed
minimum axial thrust
minimum backlash
Explanation:
When equal bevel gears (having equal teeth) connect two shafts whose axes are mutually perpendicular, then the bevel gears are known as mitres.
Question 8
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 40%
The contact ratio for gears is
zero
less than one
greater than one
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
The theoretical minimum value for the contact ratio is one, that is there must always be at least one pair of teeth in contact for continuous action.
Question 9
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 33%
Which is the incorrect relationship of gears?
Circular pitch × Diametral pitch = π
Module = P.C.D/No.of teeth
Dedendum = 1.157 module
Addendum = 2.157 module
Explanation:
None.
Question 10
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 20%
Interference can be avoided in involute gears with 20° pressure angle by
cutting involute correctly
using as small number of teeth as possible
using more than 20 teeth
using more than 8 teeth
Explanation:
None.
