The approximate distance between the two shafts of two spur wheels is 350 mm. The velocity ratio of the wheels is 4 and the pitch of the teeth is 8 mm. i. Determine the correct number of teeth for the wheels ii. Determine the correct diameter of the wheels iii. Determine the correct dimensions of the distance between the two shafts of two spur wheels.

A worm drive transmits 15 kW at 2000 r.p.m. to a machine carriage at 75 r.p.m. The worm is triple threaded and has a 65 mm pitch diameter. The worm gear has 90 teeth of a 6 mm module. The tooth form is to be 20° full depth involute. The coefficient of friction between the mating teeth may be taken as 0.10. Calculate: 1. tangential force acting on the worm; 2. axial thrust and separating force on worm.
