IMPORTANT

Before you start please read the following instructions carefully.

1.

This assignment forms part of the formal assessment for this module. If you fail to reach the required standard for the assignment then you will be allowed to resubmit but a resubmission will only be eligible for a Pass grade, not a Merit or Distinction. You should therefore not submit the assignment until you are reasonably sure that you have completed it successfully. Seek your tutor's advice if unsure.

2. 3. 4.

Ensure that you indicate the number of the question you are answering. Make a copy of your answers before submitting the assignment. Complete all details on the front page of this TMA and return it with the completed assignment to your support centre. Your tutors comments on the assignment will be sent to your home address (unless you have requested otherwise) on a separate feedback sheet. Your assignment will not be returned to you.

2 Assessment Criteria This assignment relates to the analysis of power transmission systems, the power and torque which can be transmitted via gear systems, belt drives and clutches.

MODULE LEARNING OUTCOMES Knowledge and Understanding 1. Understand the means by which power can be transmitted, and the limitations of the various devices available. Cognitive and Intellectual Skills 2. Identify and interpret the behaviour of loaded beams and cylinders. Practical and Professional Skills

Key Transferable Skills 3. Apply mathematical skills to the solution of problems associated with power transmission.

PASS

MERIT Criteria in excess of the pass grade. The transfer of competence gained in one situation to related but unfamiliar circumstances.

DISTINCTION Criteria in excess of the merit grade. The exercise of sound engineering judgement as illustrated, for example, by demonstrating convergent/lateral/creative thinking.

Learning outcomes are satisfied as evidenced by substantially correct analysis and satisfactory design and simulation.

3 1. A pulley 150 mm diameter is driven directly by an electric motor at 250 revs min1. A V-belt is used to transmit power from this pulley to a second pulley 400 mm diameter against a load of 200 Nm. The distance between the centre of the pulleys is 600 mm, the included angle of the pulley groove = 40, the coefficient of friction between the belt and pulley is 0.4 and the ultimate strength of the belt is 8 kN. (a) Calculate the actual power transmitted to the second pulley. (b) Calculate the power which can be transmitted if the maximum tension in the belt is limited to half of the ultimate strength of the belt. (c) What would be the effect of the following factors on the maximum power which can be transmitted (give reasons for your answer): (i) increasing the coefficient of friction

(ii) increasing the included angle of the pulley groove. (d) What would be the effect on the following if the load torque is increased and the speed maintains constant (give reasons for your answer): (i) the tension in the tight side of the belt

(ii) the tension in the slack side of the belt (iii) the power transmitted.

4 2. A gear train is to be designed to transmit power from shaft 1 to shaft 2 with the following condition: (i) Shaft 1 (driven by an electric motor) rotates at 100 revs min1. (ii) Shaft 2 is to rotate at 400 revs min1 in the opposite direction to shaft 1 against a load of 200 Nm. (iii) The centre of shaft 1 is 300 mm from shaft 2. (iv) The minimum number of teeth on any gear is 15, all gears must have a multiple of 5 teeth and have a module of 2 mm. (v) The maximum number of gears permissible is 4 gears and the diameter of the maximum gear must be minimised. (vi) The centres of the gears should lie on a line which is as close to straight as possible. (vii) All shafts have a frictional resistance of 5 Nm. Carry out the following: (a) Design a gear train which satisfies the above criteria. Use a sketch to illustrate your design, label the gears A, B, C, etc. from the driver to the driven gear, and state the number of teeth on each gear. (b) Determine the input power required at shaft 1. (c) Specify the efficiency of the gear train as a percentage. (d) Determine an equation for the efficiency of the gear train in terms of the load (torque) on shaft 2 (all other factors remaining constant).
