MEMO FOR S1 2021 ASSIGNMENT 1 FOR T1_MARK - MED21A
The client requires a single step-up spur gearbox to transmit a 10 kW power from a shaft rotating at
1000 rpm, while the output speed must be 1700 rpm. The material for gear and pinion is 817M40 and
655M13, respectively. Use table 6.10 on page 128 to select the suitable gear and pinion.
1.1 Briefly state the problem. 3
Answer to 1.1 The aim is to select standard gears for single step-up spur gearbox based
on Lewis's formula in order to achieve ouput speed of 1700 rpm.
