    Calculating natural frequency of a shaft

    Is there any book or internet source available where I can find a formula for finding natural frequency of vibration of a shaft? I found ageneral formula f = sq root of(Stiffness/mass) . The question is "How to calculate the stiffness of a member?"

    Question about drawing views

    I received a drawing of a gear from a customer. On the left side he has drawin a front view of a gear. He has taken a section at 15 deg to horizontal and shown that in the middle of sheet. And on the right side he has drawn the back view of the left hand view. He has not named it as such on the...

    Specific sliding of external gear pair

    Does any body know which standard is used for calcualting and specifying the specific sliding ratio for an external gear pair? I know that this is a ratio of sliding velocity to the rolling velocity and is an indicator of the scoringg and noise generation.

    Max. Axial Clearance and Interference between retained part and ring

    Hello I am assessing a design of a small gear box for manufacturing. I noticed that if I follow the dimensions to the print for the shaft groove location lengths and the gear face width ( gear to be press fitted on shaft) then I end up with 0.010 Max. Intrerference to 0.020 max. clearance...

    Convesrion of dimensions from Metric to inch

    I tried to do a search for getting some hlep in converting a metric dwg to inch. I did the first part of scaling the diemsnion by 1/25.4 and converting the actual diemsnions to inch. But the dimension value displayed against that particular diemsnion does not get changed. Is there any way to do...

    Bearing Internal clearance and misalignment

    I am evaluating a gearbox design received from a manufacturer and I notice that the mislaignment is about 8 minutes and the bearings used are deep groove ball bearings with C3 clearance. Manufacturer recommends max 10 minutes of mislaignment. The design is within that but it is usually advisable...

    Cracks in Low C steel due to decarburization or grain growth?

    We have 8620 Hot Rolled annealed material 8.5 inch dia. We finish turn it to 8.448 Gear OD in soft turning. In the recent supply we found that atleast 15% parts showed cracks on the OD after soft turning. I know that we have to use a bigger bar size to leave more allowance for finish turning...

    Reverse hand hobbing question

    I am aware of the fact that we can use a Lft hand hob for Right hand gear and vice versa. But how do the machine accuracy and backlashes affect this process? Do the LC 382 liebherr CNC hobbers do the reverse hobbing without a proble? I would appreciate the response.

    Indicating gage for internal gear dim betwen balls

    I am looking for an indicating dial bore gage for checking dimension between balls for internal gear. The existing gages in the market are very costly and are relevant for only one gear data. Just wondering if we could convert the standatrd Mitutoyo dial bore gages to check the dimension...

    cONTROLLING INTERNAL SPLINE GROWTH IN 8620 FORGING

    We are having a 8620 gear forging which we are gear cutting prior to heat treatment. Then we are cutting internal splines to ANSI class 5 and then sending it for carburise and hardening to 57-60 Rc. The perfectly OK spline is increasing in size by almost 0.005" between pins. We purchased the...

    Design of a shear pin. What fit between pin and hole.

    Could any body help me in deciding what fit is supposed to be used between a shaer pin and mating hole. This connection is supposed to drive a torque. I do not know the value, as it is customer design. Pin is made of material 96 ksi and the driving member is made of UTI 116 ksi. Nominal dia of...

    Gear and rack rolling generation software

    I was just wondering if there is any software out there which could be used to test the rolling of rack and a gear of known data. WE are having gear and a rack of 14.5 degree Pressure angle and 20 DP but do not seem to roll properly. Individually both are good in dimensions but seem to have...
