Bevel Gear Strength - Machine Design Questions and Answers

This set of Machine Design Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Strength of Bevel gears”.

1. Lewis equation is used to obtain ____ strength of bevel gears.
a) Beam
b) Abrasive
c) Wear
d) Corrosive
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: According to Lewis equation, Beam strength=product of module, face width of elemental section, permissible bending stress and Lewis form factor.

2. Beam strength of the bevel gear is independent of the cone distance.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: In other form S=mbσY[1- b/A] where A= cone distance.

3. Beam strength indicates the maximum value of the ___________ force at the large end of the tooth that the tooth can transmit without bending.
a) Tangential
b) Radial
c) Axial
d) None of the listed
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Beam strength is analysed by using the pitch radius at the larger end of the tooth.

4. Wear strength of the bevel gear can be calculated by using ________ equation.
a) Buckingham
b) Lewis
c) Newtonian
d) Rayleigh
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Bevel gear is considered to be equivalent to a formative spur gear in a plane which is perpendicular to the large end and hence Buckingham equation is applied.

5. If back cone distance is 10mm, then pitch circle diameter of the formative pinion is given by?
a) 10mm
b) 20mm
c) 5mm
d) 10√2 mm
View Answer

Answer: b
