10
Spur gears – tooth profile is parallel to
the axis of rotation, transmits motion
between parallel shafts.
Pinion (small gear)
Gear (large gear)
Internal gears
– teeth are inclined to
the axis of rotation, the angle provides
more gradual engagement of the teeth
during meshing, transmits motion
between parallel shafts.
Helical gears
Spur Gear Terminology
• Teeth are straight and parallel to the gear
shaft axis
• Establish gear tooth profile using an involute
curve
• Basic rule:
– No fewer than 13 teeth on the running gear and
26 teeth on the mating gear
Spur Gear Terminology
• Pressure angle
– 14.5°and 20°are standard
• Diametral pitch
• Gear accuracy
– Maximum tooth-to-tooth tolerances allowed, as
specified by the American Gear Manufacturers
Association (AGMA)
• Several additional formulas and specifications
Bevel Gears
– Gears that mesh at
an angle, usually
90°
– Changes the
direction of
rotation
http://science.howstuffworks.com/gear4.htm
Bevel Gears
• Shafts of the gear and
pinion can intersect at
90°or any desired angle
• Provide for a speed
change between the
gear and pinion, unless
designed as miter gears

Bevel gears – teeth are formed on a
conical surface, used to transfer motion
between non-parallel and intersecting
shafts.
Straight

turning motion by 90°
– Decreases the speed of
turning from screw to
gear and increases the
force

angles

For the speed reducer shown, the input
shaft a is in line with output shaft b. The
tooth numbers are N2=24, N3=18, N5=22,
and N6=64. Find the ratio of the output
speed to the input speed. Will both shafts
rotate in the same direction? Gear 6 is a
fixed internal gear.
Train value = (-N2 / N3)(N5 / N6) = (-24/18)(22/64) = -.4583
-.4583 = (ωL – ωarm) / (ωF – ωarm) = (0 – ωarm) / (1 – ωarm)
ωarm = .125, reduction is 8 to 1
Input and output shafts rotate in the same
direction d2 + d3 = d6 – d5
Harmonic Drive

The mechanism is comprised of three components: Wave Generator, Flexspline, and
Circular Spline.
Wave Generator
Consists of a steel disk and a specially design bearing. The outer surface
has an elliptical shape. The ball bearing conforms to the same elliptical
shape of the wave generator. The wave generator is usually the input.
Flexspline
The Flexspline is a thin-walled steel cup with gear teeth on the outer
surface near the open end of the cup. Flexspline is usually the output.
Circular Spline
Rigid internal circular gear, meshes with the external teeth on the Flexspline.
Harmonic Drive
Ken Youssefi
Mechanical Engineering Dept.
59
Teeth on the Flexspline
and circular spline
simultaneously mesh at
two locations which are
180o
apart.
As the wave generator travels 180o
, the
flexspline shifts one tooth with respect
to circular spline in the opposite
direction.
ω Circular Spline = 0
ω Flexspline = output
ωWave Generator = input
The flexspline has two less teeth than the circular spline.
Gear Ratio = - (Nflex spline)/ 2

Bearings
Bearings
• Two large groups:
– Plain bearings
– Rolling element bearings
• Accommodate either rotational or linear
motion
Plain Bearings
• Often referred to as:
– Sleeve bearings
– Journal bearings
– Bushings
• Operation is based on a sliding action
between mating parts
• Clearance fit between the inside diameter of
the bearing and the shaft is critical
Plain Bearings
Rolling Element Bearings
• Common classes:
– Ball bearings
– Roller bearings
Ball Bearings
• Typically have higher
speed and lower load
capabilities than roller
bearings
• May have a shield or
seal
Typical Ball Bearings
• Single-row ball bearings
• Double-row ball bearings
• Angular contact ball bearings
• Thrust bearings
Roller Bearings
• More effective than ball
bearings for heavy loads
Bearing Codes
• Typically specify:

Bearing Selection
• A variety of bearing types are available
depending on use requirements
• Common classes:
– Light bearings
– Medium bearings
– Heavy bearings
Bearing Bore, Outside Diameters,
and Width
Shaft and Housing Fits
• Important consideration
– Tight fits can cause failure of the balls, rollers,
lubricant, or overheating
– Loose fits can cause slippage of the bearing in the
housing, resulting in overheating, vibration, or
excessive wear
Shaft and Housing Fits
• General shaft fits
– Shaft diameter and tolerance are the same as the
bearing bore diameter and tolerance
• General housing fits
– Minimum housing diameter is .0001 larger than
the maximum bearing outside diameter
– Maximum housing diameter is .0003 larger than
the minimum housing diameter
The Shaft Shoulder and Housing
Shoulder Dimensions
• Shoulders should be
large enough to rest
flat on the face of the
bearing and small
enough to allow
bearing removal
Surface Finish of Shaft and Housing
• Shafts under 2 inches (50 mm) in diameter:
– 32 microinches (0.80 micrometer)
• Shafts over 2 inches in diameter
– 63 microinch (1.6 micrometer)
• Housing diameter:
– 125 microinch (3.2 micrometer)
Bearing Lubrication
• Necessary requirement based on:
– Type of operation, such as continuous or
intermittent
– Service speed in rpm (revolutions per minute)
– Bearing load, such as light, medium, or heavy
Oil Grooving of Bearings
• Grooves for the proper flow of lubrication to
the bearing surface
– Help provide the proper lubricant between the
bearing surfaces and maintain cooling
• Several methods available
Sealing Methods
• Static sealing
• Dynamic seals
• Gaskets
• Molded lip packings
• Molded ring seals
– Labyrinth
– O-ring seal
