CHAPTER 5 EXPERIMENTATION 5.1 Spure gear terms and concept Figure 13: Terminology definitions for spur gears Addendum: The radial distance from the pitch circle to the outside diameter Dedendum: The radial distance between the pitch circle and the root diameter Circular thickness: The distance of the arc along the pitch circle from one side of a gear tooth to the other Circular pitch: The length of the arc of the pitch circle from one point on a tooth to the same point on the adjacent tooth Pitch diameter: The diameter of the pitch circle Outside diameter: The major diameter of the gear Root diameter: The diameter of the root circle measured from the bottom of the tooth spaces Chordal addendum: The distance from the top of the tooth to the chord connecting the circular thickness arc Chordal thickness: The thickness of a tooth on a straight line or chord on the pitch circle Whole depth: The total depth of a tooth space equal to the sum of the addendum and dedendum Working depth: The depth …show more content…

Pressure angle: The angle between a tooth profile and a radial line at the pitch circle. Center distance: The distance between the centers of the pitch circles TABLE 1: SPURE GEAR FORMULAS 5.2 Experimental Set Up The experiment test-bed is composed of a DC motor, an engine, a chain drive, a shaft and other accessorial components. The DC motor is used to drive the engine shaft and its speed can be up to 1450 r/min.
