Presentation Transcript

  1. Two-Gear Gear Trains • Using different size gear allows change in speed • Gear ratio calculates this change • Driving gear is attached to motor • Driven gear is attached to wheel • Gears spurs (teeth) mesh together • Gears rotate in opposite directions

  2. Two-Gear Gear Trains Given the gear on the left is the driving gear: • Calculate the gear ratio for these two gears Gear Ratio = 8/24 = 1/3 • Calculate the gear ratio for these two gears Gear Ratio = 40/8 = 5 • Calculate the gear ratio for these two gears Gear Ratio = 24/24 = 1 • Why might you want to do this?

  3. Two-Gear Gear Trains A Gear Ratio <1 is called Gearing Down • Will the speed of the wheel go up or down compared to the motor? • Gearing Down = Speed goes Down • But, power (torque) goes up • Always some loss to friction • Why might you want to do this? A Gear Ratio >1 is called Gearing Up • Will the speed of the wheel go up or down compared to the motor? • Gearing Up = Speed goes Up • But, power (torque) goes down • Always some loss to friction • Why might you want to do this?

  4. Two-Gear Gear Trains Tribot Gearing • Need a structural support for the gears • What Gear Ratio is shown? • Construct this gear pair on a beam • How would you use these gears to gear up/down this Tribot? • What would the Gear Ratios be? • What could you do with these gears?
