Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a gear with a Length of Arc of Contact of 15 mm and a Base Pitch of 5 mm. What is its contact ratio? If the gear begins to interfere at 3 mm of added height, what modifications can be made to remedy this?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Calculate first, then think about interference solutions.

Question 2

Explain the significance of maintaining a contact ratio greater than 1 in high-precision machinery. How might failure to do so affect overall system performance?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on the consequences of single-tooth engagement.
