ABSTRACT
The main components of this course are the study of machine theories and standard
methods of machine designs components. For this project, we were requested to design a speed
reducer by using a double – step reduction gear by choosing the types of gear which are Spur
or Helical gears. Our job was to design a speed reducer which consists of gears, shafts, keys,
casing, bearing, springs and fasteners by considering the factor of safety, the gear material,
quality level of the material that being used, the design life, the total weight of all components
as well as the strength for every component. For this project, Helical gear was picked as our
study case as Helical gears has more advantages compared to spur gears. Some of the
advantages are more work can be transmitted via helical gears, the life expectancy of helical
gears is more as they vibrate less, and less noise is produced when the gears meshes.
The theories that we have learned before in class and lab were used for this project. The
first step was to decide the important parameters for each component, the prior decisions was
important in order to fulfil the required factor of safety. Software such as Microsoft Excel and
SolidWorks were used to do calculations and simulations to verify the mentioned parameters
so it is inclined with the assumptions and calculations that have been done manually from the
prior decisions.

INTRODUCTION
Speed reducers are invented to deliver power at slower speed than the power that been
supplied by the motor. The speed reducer transmits the required power by reducing the speed
and increases the torque. The goal of this project is to design a speed reducer to reduce the
given rotation speed from 1200 rpm to 150 rpm. To reduce a much higher rotation speed to a
much lower speed, a double step – reduction is needed. Spur or Helical gears were suggested
to be used for in the system. The input must be aligned to the output shaft.
Helical gear was chosen for the designed gearbox. The input power transmitted to the
input shaft equals to the ID number of the first person in the group which is 1875 Watt. The
shafts designed are supported by two ball or roller bearings. The desired overall reliability was
set to 95% and the designed life was set to 20 kilohours. The minimum value for the factor of
safety was set to 2.0 and any lower values than that will not be accepted.
For every designed component, design decisions and assumptions, design calculations
and analysis, design findings and design discussion were made in order to fully achieve the
2
objectives of this project. For design decisions and assumptions, the initial value of parameters
was assumed based on the knowledge obtained from class and general knowledge. The decision
was not made based on gut feelings but with good reasoning. The design calculations and
analysis were done manually and by using Microsoft Excel as well in order to prove and verify
the calculations. The analysis was done by checking the factor of safety obtained after several
parameters and materials for every component were chosen. The results were then tabulated in
a table to show the summary of the design. The design findings and design discussion were
made in order to discuss if there were any issues or anomalies. The costing for every designed

LITERATURE REVIEW
Gearbox are generally known as transmission unit that consists gears, shafts, bearing,
spring, fasteners and etc. Gearbox usually used to provide speed and torque by converting high
speed input to lower speed output and vice versa. A gearbox that converts speed input into
single output is known as single stage gearbox and usually has two gears and 2 shafts. For
double stage gearbox, it changes the output speed twice and it has more than two gears and
shafts. For certain cases that the difference between the input speed and the desired output
speed differs greatly, more stages of the gear train are needed. The gear trains are formed to
make sure that the force acting on the gears are not to be above the endurance limit of the
components.
Gears that are lubricated will allow easier transmission of mechanical energy from the
driving component to output devices. By reducing the friction between gears, it reduces wasted
energy that is created when the transmission of energy when the gears are rotated. With less
friction, it can also reduce the force acting on the gear surface, hence maximizing the life
4
In order to maximise the design life of the gearbox, proper installation and maintenance
play huge roles. Each component needed to be carefully selected, and the installation needs to
be accurate. The selection for the material entails much more than simply picking out one from
catalogues.

OBJECTIVE
• To design and analyse several machine components such as gears, shafts, keys,
• To determine the most suitable dimension for the components’ designed gearbox.
• To make use of CAD Software such as SolidWorks to model the designed component

DESIGN STEPS I
GEAR
The reason we choose the helical gear instead of the spur gear is because of the
functionality and the advantages. We decided that the most important point of choosing a gear
type is its functionality, its life expectancy and its frequency of maintenance.
Helical gear has complete face engagement, unlike spur gear that is incomplete, as one
or two teeth are always in contact with another gear. This makes helical gear vibrates less and
less noisy, makes it have higher life expectancy. This results to the saving of the cost in the
long run for the system, as it made changing the gears lesser virtually non-existence.
Other than that, helical gears also have higher torque capacity. By using a complex
design of having angular teeth to give higher load transmission, high efficiency gear mesh can
be achieved, rather than spur gear, which loads being transmitted through fewer teeth. More
teeth transferring the load alleviate the load between each tooth.
For the designation process, there are several things that is needed to be assumed to get
the project going. First, the size of the gear. As we have creating a mini boat rotor in mind, we
decided to make the diameter across for both pinion and gear in both sets to be 17.3205 inches.
For the face width, we made it to be 1 inch. The reason we choose these numbers to be our
model dimensions, is because it fits to what we planned and the size of the model’s gearbox.
Next is the quality factor of the model. We chose grade 7, as we don’t need precise gears for it
to function correctly. Lower grade may affect its reliability, so we maximise between its cost
and reliability, which is grade 7. We assumed the overload factor, Ko, for the driven machine

ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
The shaft in our project experience all three kind of external force that produced
moment, torsion and axial force. In shaft analysis, the moment only form Ma, which is moment
amplitude, as the moment is not reversible, same with the axial force, Pa that was produced
from the axial force of the gear. So, Mm and Pm = 0. Only torque is reversible, producing Tm,
because as the torque rotate, it produced maximum and minimum amplitude, so it produces a
mean value.
The initial assumption of Kt and Kts are from table 7-1, as we used the shoulder fillet-
well rounded as the type of shoulder, and End-mill keyseat as the type of the keyseat.The torque
is relatively small because we were using a large gear diameter and of course, helical
gear.While the moment is also relatively small because we were using short shaft to reduce the
Moving to key, we chose square key because it shape is simple to create while still able
to transmit desired force without breaking apart.The safety factor for key is also set to 3 to
65
BEARINGS
In this mini project, we also include other components such as bearing, which is used
to enable rotation or linear movement, while reducing friction and handling stresses. Similar
to wheels, bearings enable a device to roll which reduces the friction between the surface of
bearing and the surface of the rolling component, in which in our project is the shaft. Bearing
is vital to the design and is crucial to support the loading and stresses due to the rotation of the
shaft. By analysing the design and requirement from the question, we had assumed and decided
to use ball bearing manufactured by manufacturer 2. There are several reasons we use ball
bearing over roller bearings. One of the reasons is the ball bearing is power saving. With the
truest rolling motion of any type of bearing, ball bearings reduce friction appreciably over roller
bearings, and even more over plain bearing, under ideal or laboratory conditions. In reducing
power consumption, depends upon number of factors in the installation, but with other things
being equal, power saving will be greater with ball bearings. We choose to use deep groove
because it can accept load in axial load, as our gear design uses helical gear. As for the
application factor, we use 1.5 as we are going to use it in machinery with moderate impact. The
bore diameter of the bearing must each matched with the diameter of the shafts which are found
We had identified that we are using helical gear which will results into axial loading
present at the bearing. So as there are axial loading, Eqn. (11-12) below is used to calculate
Fe = XiV Fr + Yi Fa (11–12)
66
where i = 1 when Fa/V Fr ≤ e Fa=axial thrust Fr=radial loads
In solving the equations, we refer to Table 11-1. We needed to find Fa/Co which corresponds
to the abscissa, e. The value of Co is obtained by assuming the value of minimum shaft diameter
which corresponds to the bore of the bearing. The value of Fa/Co may not fall exactly to the
value at the table, so interpolation is need to find the value of e. As the number of e is found, it
is compared to the value of Fa/VFr to get the value of Xi and Yi. The value of V is also
determine to be 1.2 as we only use bearing with only the outer ring rotates. Then, with all the
The value of Fe obtained is then plugged into Eqn. (11-10) below to get catalog load rating,

From the calculation done, we assume the value of the Co by using the value of minimum
diameter for the shaft to carry the load, so, we obtain 12mm. So, we use the Table 11-2 to get
the value. Then subs into the formula to find the equivalent radial load. As the calculated C10

want to avoid failure, we took the bigger value of Fr. Then subs into the formula to find the
equivalent radial load. As the calculated C10 with 0.95 reliability is somehow nearest and lower
than the C10 of 20mm. So we choose both of the bearing supporting Shaft B to be having 20mm

Bore= 25mm
From the calculation done, we assume the value of the Co by using the value of minimum
diameter for the shaft to carry the load, so, we obtain 25mm. So, we use the Table 11-2 to get
the value. Then subs into the formula to find the equivalent radial load. As the calculated C10
with 0.95 reliability is somehow nearest and lower than the C10 of 12mm. But in this case, the
value of the bore used is 25mm because the minimum diameter shaft for shaft C is calculated
to be 25mm. So, we choose both of the bearing supporting Shaft C to be having 25mm bore
which should be able to support the load acting on them and also fit the shaft C.

DISUSSIONS
From all the bearing designed we could say that, in order to fully designed the bearings,
the calculations are very reliant to the design of shafts. We could obviously see the dependency,
when we are calculating the C10 for shaft A and B. The Fr for bearings at shaft cannot be taken
from the lower value of Fr of the bearings of Shaft B as if we design for the lower one, the end
with the bigger value of Fr could fail with the value we used for C10 . From Shaft C also we
could see that even though we get a lesser bore diameter which is 12mm, we have to consider
the minimum value of shaft C diameter, 25mm. This is because the shaft could not fix the
bearing if it were 12mm in diameter. It is also okay for the bore of the bearing to be bigger as
the bigger the value of the bore the bigger the C10 . This may affect our cost a little bit as the
bigger the size of the bearings, the higher the cost it would take, but it is for the greater good
as we want to prevent failure to our system. All of the assumption made such as the application
factor, type of bearings and manufacturer are picked based on the environment and the usage
of the speed reducer used and also affected by the type of gears used in this machine. As for
the V=1.2, the bearings are held by the connections of the bearings and the wall and the rotating
part is the outer ring which is the connection of the shafts and the bearing.

DESIGN STEPS II
CASING BOX
Based on SolidWorks, the total mass, the total volume, and the surface area was
obtained and calculated. Grey cast iron was selected as the material for the gearbox due to its
properties. Grey cast iron can withstand extreme temperature as our desire to design the
gearbox to be used for motorboat. Due to the cost and availability, grey cast iron was chosen
over steel.
Based on the data obtained, the factor of safety was calculated by using SolidWorks
and force obtained, 1586.52 N was obtained by assuming weight of the total assembly that
include shafts, gears, bearings and keys. The minimum factor of safety obtained can be seen as
1.2.

76
SPRINGS
Another component for our machine is spring. Spring is used to reduce the force of the
load acting on other components. Spring is essential as it would avoid damage. We are using
music wire A288. This is because it can withstand higher stresses under repeated loading than
any other spring material. From table 10-4, A= 201 kpsi.inm , m=0.145, ; from Table 10–5, E
= 28.5 Mpsi, G = 11.75 Mpsi (expecting d > 0.064 in). We also used end squared and ground
spring to make the spring stable on flat surface. As for the safety of the springs, we use design
factor at solid height of (ns)d = 1.2. The safety is low, as there are more than one sprigs used
and also the spring is only used to reduce the force acting on the wall. With Robust linearity: ξ
= 0.15 and as-wound spring , Ssy = 0.45Sut from Table 10–6 as they are recommended design
conditions to follow and also cheaper. The decision variable: d = 0.080 in, music wire gage

From the calculation done, we found out that the number of springs needed is very high
as our load of the box is high. We also found out the free length and solid length of the spring
to be used in our design. The factor of safety of the spring is also reasonable at 1.1, as many

FASTENERS
We also include fasteners in our design for the machine. Fasteners are used to join or
fixes two or more objects together. In general, fasteners are used to make non-permanent joints,
that is joints that can be removed or dismantled without damaging the joining components. For
our design, we use fasteners of grade 25 cast-iron pressure vessel with 5/8 in-11 UNC × 2 in

Screw is the smallest component used in our assembly and one of the most important
components that we are required to used. This is because screw, fastener and bolt are needed
to tighten or assemble the housing. Housing is something which hold all the assemble
components. Housing is not only to hold all components but to withstand certain criteria such
as temperature, external and internal forces, pressures and etc. In order to tighten this housing

DISCUSSION
After attempting numerous analysis and studies in gear, each data was tabulated and
illustrated. Every equation that was used in calculation was taken from the textbook. Based on
our initial assumption as can be seen in the first step, the number of teeth, the diameter pitch
of each gear, were determined. Since we are doing helical gear, we have an extra force coming
from the gear known as axial force. Extra calculations and assumptions need to be made in
order to determine the factor of safety for gears. As we are designing a mini boat rotor in mind,
we assumed the face width to be 1 inch. For gear and pinion, grade 2 steel was chosen as the
material is tough and has high resistance towards harsh environment. In order to verify our
theory, bending and wear analysis were done. From our analysis, for gear 2 wear gave more
threat while gear 3 also the threat came from wear. The same results were obtained for gear 4
For shaft analysis, AISI 1020 Cold Drawn Low Carbon was chosen, as clearly
mentioned in textbook, page 353, “Many shafts are made form low carbon, cold drawn or hot
rolled steel, such as AISI 1020- 1050 steel. AZO Material website was chosen as one of our
primary sources, in order to determine the best choice for the material to manufacture our
designed shaft. We begin our analysis for shaft, by finding the shear and moment diagram at
One of the few problems that we uncounted was, during the analysis part of the shaft,
we forgot to include axial force as axial force form helical gears were to huge compared to spur
gears and cannot be ignored in calculation. For every shaft, space allocated for gears and
bearings need to be carefully determined in order to synchronise with the given width form the
manufacturers’ catalogue. This is to prevent vibration and to transmit axial force efficiently.
For the shoulder of the shaft, well rounded was chosen in order to fit the bearing perfectly. For
every part of the shaft the minimum factor of safety was set to 2. At intermediate shaft, point
85
5 and output shaft, point 9 the factor of safety is more than 5. At every gear, there will be keys
in order to transmit power and speed from shaft to gear. The average diameter of our shaft was
smaller in size as we set the length of our shaft was set too short, the effect will come at the
moment. In order to get optimum factor of safety, the diameter need to be smaller in size.
The factor of safety for key was set to 3. It was proven in our calculation, that all the
keys with the calculated dimensions can transmit the power efficiently from the shaft to gear
without breaking apart. Our gears are also considered stable because the hub length is much
bigger than the shaft diameter. (text book page 387, example 7-6).
The values of the Co for bearing were obtained by using the value of minimum
diameter for the shaft to carry the load. Reliability of 0.95 was set for bearing, therefore Table
11-2 was used in order to get the desired value of C10. In order to get the resultant force acting
at each bearing, radial force, tangential force as well as the radial force need to be included as
the axial force that exerted from the helical gears to the shaft.
In order to design the housing for the gears set, the diameter pitch for the biggest gear
need to be considered for the height of the gear box. For the width of the housing, the length
of the longest shaft will be considered in order to gat perfect dimension for the housing, The
material that will be used to produce the housing can withstand extreme temperature because
the gearbox will be used for in motorboat. That is why grey cast iron was chosen as the most
suitable material for the housing. In order to get ample stability, springs were added to the
assembly. Music wire was chosen because of is toughness and the cost as well as the
Bolt and nut were used as the fastener to tighten the joints of surfaces of the gearbox.
25 cast-iron pressure vessels with 5/8 in-11 UNC × 2 in grade 5 finished hex head bolt was
chose as the fattener for the gearbox as the dimension of the bolt perfectly fitted to connect the
two surfaces of the gearbox. Regular maintenance needs to be taken care as the fatigue for the

CONCLUSION
The objectives of the case study which were to design and analyse several machine
components such as gears, shafts, keys, couplings, fasteners, springs, bearings and casing box.
Software such as SolidWorks and Microsoft Excel were used in order to get right data for the
calculation and analysis part. So far, the theories that learned in class were applied in this
project. The theories and the calculation can has been approved through the results of this
project as the gearbox assembly was successfully simulated without any errors. The output
speed will be reduced as mentioned in the introduction of this report. Even though the
calculations have been approved, one must not ignore that the factor of safety for each
component is important. The factor of safety will determine how long the component will work
before it breaks. The lower the factor of safety, the time for the component to fail will be faster.
The factor of safety for each component also highly affected by the material. The selection of
material for each part is very important and the cost that comes with it cannot be ignored. A
good material will come with a good price which makes the overall assembly more expensive.
