A compound gear train is composed of four gears: A, B, C, and D. Gear A has 120 teeth. Gear B has 12 teeth and shares a shaft with gear C, which has 24 teeth. Gear C is meshed with gear D, the output gear. Power is supplied at gear A with 200 ft. lb of torque and is traveling at 400 rpm. The necessary torque output for the system is 1600 ft. lb. What should the gear ratio of the system be?

In a pulley system, pulley A is moving at 600 rpm and has a diameter of 12 in. Three pulleys B, C, and D, all of different sizes are attached to a single output shaft. Speed and torque output are changed within the system by moving the drive belt between pulleys B, C, and D. A speed of 1200 rpm is required when the drive belt is connected to pulley B. What is the diameter of pulley B?

What is one difference between gears and sprockets?
Gears need to be meshed together, but sprockets can be spread apart.
Gears require chains, but sprockets do not
Sprockets usually have smaller "teeth" than gears
Two meshed gears will rotate in the same direction as each other.
True
False
Two sprockets in a chain drive will rotate in the same direction as each other.
True
False
In a gear system, the gear (or sprocket) attached to the power source is called what?
Drive gear
Driven gear
Idler gear
Passenger gear
In a gear system, the gear (or sprocket) that is moved as a result of the drive gear is called what?
Driven gear
Drive gear
Passenger gear
sub gear
Another word for drive gear is:
input gear
output gear
Another word for DRIVEN gear is:
input gear
output gear
How do we indicate the size of gears and sprockets?
how many rotation the gear/sprocket turns in 1 minute
the brand name of the gear/sprocket
number of teeth and diameter of gear/sprocket
A gear or gears that go in between the drive gear and the driven gear are called what?
idler gears
extra gears
drive gears
driven gears
What is the measurement of force applied in a linear motion?
speed
torque
What is the measurement of force applied in a circular motion?
speed
torque
Are these gears increasing Speed or Torque?
speed
torque
Are these gears increasing speed or torque?
speed
torque
Speed and torque have an inverse relationship. Meaning you have to give up one for the other.
True
False

True
False
What type of gear system is in the picture?
chain drive
compound gear system
bevel gears
What does a gear ratio describe?
