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.

1
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.

Figure 1 : Typical speed reducer

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

components were calculated and were tabulated.

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.

Figure 2: Design for double step reducer gear

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

expectancy of the gears.

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,

couplings, fasteners, springs, bearings and casing box.

• To determine the most suitable dimension for the components’ designed gearbox.

• To make use of knowledge obtained during lecture by performing analysis and

calculation to design speed reducer by performing complex analysis and calculations.

• To make use of CAD Software such as SolidWorks to model the designed component

and performing complex analysis and calculation.

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

to have a uniformed power source and moderate shock acting on it

For our design, there are several things that is needed to be assumed to get the project

going. 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.

The quality factor of our model. When we chose grade 7, as we don’t need precise gears

for it to function correctly. The issues are that the lower grade may affect the reliability, so we

needed maximise between the cost and reliability, which are grade 7. We assumed that the

overload factor, Ko, for the driven machine to have a uniformed power source and moderate

shock acting on it.

Other than that, the anomalies that we discover is there were some of the factor are

same and can be reused on other equation to calculate other gear or pinion but the output are

difference because of the value of m on each gear sets.

SHAFT
SHEAR MOMENT CALCULATION

SHAFT A

PLANE Z-X

Calculation for the reaction at the support beam

1. A beam is in equilibrium when it is stationary relative to an inertial reference frame. The

following conditions are satisfied when a beam, acted upon by a system of forces and moments,

is in equilibrium.

ΣFx = 0: HA = 0

ΣMA = 0: The sum of the moments about the pin support at the point A:

P1*1.5 + RB*3 = 0

ΣMB = 0: The sum of the moments about the roller support at the point B:

27
- RA*3 - P1*1.5 = 0

2. Calculate reaction of roller support at the point B:

RB = ( - P1*1.5) / 3 = ( - 76.2142*1.5) / 3 = -38.11 (lbf)

3. Calculate reaction of pin support at the point A:

RA = ( - P1*1.5) / 3 = ( - 76.2142*1.5) / 3 = -38.11 (lbf)

4. Solve this system of equations:

HA = 0 (lbf)

5. The sum of the forces about the Oy axis is zero:

ΣFy = 0: - RA + P1 - RB = - 38.11*1 + 76.2142 - 38.11*1 = 0

Consider first span of the beam 0 ≤ x1 < 1.5

Determine the equations for the shear force (Q):

Q(x1) = - RA

The values of Q at the edges of the span:

Q1(0) = - 38.11 = -38.11 (lbf)

Q1(1.50) = - 38.11 = -38.11 (lbf)

Determine the equations for the bending moment (M):

M(x1) = - RA*(x1)

12mm also have C10=6.294 (refer bearing calculation) at 95% reliability. The C10 from

manufacturer catalogue (Table 11-2) is 6.89 which is higher than 6.294. Therefore, the

d1=12mm was selected.

D/d=1.2, so D=(1.2)(0.4724)=0.5669 , then a nominal 0.6 inch D cold-drawn shaft diameter

can be used.

r/d=0.1, so r=(0.1)(0.4724)=0.04724. However, r is pre-determined to r=0.6mm=0.0236inch

so that it can fix with the bearing.

Point 3

At point 3, the Ma exerted is 20.67 lbf.in, so we decided to use same end diameter of d4 =

0.4724 inch as d3. Since the biggest diameter, D2 = 0.75 inch, r=0.0236 to fit with bearing, so,

D/d = (0.75/0.4724) = 1.5875

r/d = (0.0236/0.4724) = 0.05

From those value, new constants values were found.

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

arm length, thus reduce the moment produced.

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

prevent the key from break.

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

in the previous sections.

CALCULATIONS AND ANALYSIS

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

the equivalent radial load.

Fe = XiV Fr + Yi Fa (11–12)

66
where i = 1 when Fa/V Fr ≤ e Fa=axial thrust Fr=radial loads

i = 2 when Fa/V Fr > e

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

variables are known, the value of Fe is obtained.

The value of Fe obtained is then plugged into Eqn. (11-10) below to get catalog load rating,

C10 as the Reliability is determined to be 95%, R=0.95

C10=af FD[ XD/(X0 + (θ − X0)(1 − RD)1/b)] 1/a R ≥ 0.90 (11–7)

RD = Design Reliability

af =application factor

FD = Fe = Equivalent Radial Load

XD = Dimensionless multiple of rating life

X0 = guaranteed, or “minimum,’’ value of the variate

θ = characteristic parameter corresponding to the 63.2121 percentile

value of the variate

b = shape parameter that controls the skewness

a = type of bearing

67
The value of X0, θ, b is the Weibull Parameters Rating Life which are determined from Table

11-6, by choosing Manufacturer 2, as stated in the assumption above.

Manufacturer =2

X0 = 0.02

θ =4.459

b = 1.483

Lr = 106 ; needed to calculate XD

Then, we calculate the value of XD using the Eqn,

XD =[ (60LDnD )/Lr ]

With LD given in the questions and nD depends on Shaft

The af is determined from Table 11-5 by assuming the Type of Application is Machinery with

moderate impact with value 1.5.

Fa/Co = 0.03158 ; obtaining e = 0.22512 by interpolation from Table 11-1

Fa/(VFr) =0.4435 so Fa/(VFr)> e, so i = 2

By interpolation: Xi = 0.56, Yi = 1.95419

Fe1 = XiV Fr + Yi Fa

Bore = 12mm

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

with 0.95 reliability is somehow nearest and lower than the C10 of 12mm. So we choose both

of the bearing supporting Shaft A to be having 12mm bore which should be able to support the

load acting on them.

Co = 6200N from table 11-2, by assuming bore is 20mm

Fa/Co = 0.05369 ; obtaining e = 0.2567 by interpolation from Table 11-1

Fa/(VFr) =0.4327 so Fa/(VFr)> e, so i = 2

By interpolation: Xi = 0.56, Yi = 1.73313

Bore = 20mm

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 20mm. So, we use the Table

11-2 to get the value. As for the value of Fr, we calculate Fr at both ends of the shafts, as we

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 which should be able to support the load acting on them.

= 5.294 kN ; take a bigger value available at Table 11-2 ; 6.89 Bore = 12 mm

But we use,

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.

Surface Area, (mm2) 2767430.7

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.

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

springs are use and is not critical.

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

grade 5 finished hex head bolt.

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

and make sure it does not open easily fastener is needed.

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

and gear 5 as the threat came from wear.

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

different points, as different amount of moment occurred at different point.

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

availability in current market.

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

86
fastener part will start to show first followed by the housing, shaft and gears. A scheduled

maintenance needs to be done in order to have the gearbox in good condition.

87
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.
