Toothed Gearing

Question 1
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 33%
The two parallel and coplanar shafts are connected by gears having teeth parallel to the axis of the shaft. This arrangement is called
spur gearing
helical gearing
bevel gearing
spiral gearing
Explanation:
The two parallel and co-planar shafts connected by the gears. These gears are called spur gears and the arrangement is known as spur gearing. These gears have teeth parallel to the axis of the wheel as shown in Fig. 12.1. Another name given to the spur gearing is helical gearing, in which the teeth are inclined to the axis.
Question 2

Pass Ratio : 50%
The ratio of face width to transverse pitch of a helical gear with α as the helix angle is normally
more than 1.15/tan α
more than 1.05/tan α
more than 1/tan α
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
None.
Question 3

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 4
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 5
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 6
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
The module is the reciprocal of
diametral pitch
circular pitch
pitch diameter
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
It is the ratio of the pitch circle diameter in millimeters to the number of teeth.
Question 7
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 20%
Law of gearing is satisfied if
two surfaces slide smoothly
common normal at the point of contact passes through the pitch point on the line joining the centres of rotation
number of teeth = P.C.D. / module
addendum is greater than dedendum
Explanation:
Law of gearing says that the common normal at the point of contact between a pair of teeth must always pass through the pitch point.
Question 8
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 25%
The condition of correct gearing is
pitch line velocities of teeth be same
radius of curvature of two profiles be same
common normal to the pitch surface cuts the line of centres at a fixed point
none of the mentioned
Explanation:
The fundamental condition of correct gearing is the common normal at the point of contact between a pair of teeth must always pass through the pitch point.
Question 9
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
