Toothed Gearing

Question 1
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.
Question 2
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 20%
The size of a gear is usually specified by
pressure angle
circular pitch
diametral pitch
pitch circle diameter
Explanation:
Pitch circle diameter is the diameter of the pitch circle. The size of the gear is usually specified by the pitch circle diameter. It is also known as pitch diameter.
Question 3
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 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 : 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 6
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 7
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 8
Marks : +2 | -2
Pass Ratio : 100%
When the addenda on pinion and wheel is such that the path of approach and path of recess are half of their maximum possible values, then the length of the path of contact is given by
(r + R) sin φ/2
(r + R) cos φ/2
(r + R) tan φ/2
(r + R) cot φ/2
Explanation:
In case the addenda on pinion and wheel is such that the path of approach and path of recess are half of their maximum possible values, then
Question 9
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 10
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.
