Solving the Problem of Horizontal to Vertical Motion with Gear Design

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the design of a machine that requires the transmission of horizontal rotational motion to vertical rotary motion using bevel gears. Bevel gears are identified as the most suitable option for this application, particularly when shafts are positioned at perpendicular or inclined angles. Participants recommend utilizing online resources for gear selection based on specific parameters such as loads and speeds. Additionally, a Google search for "bevel gear selection" yields numerous options for further guidance.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of bevel gear mechanics
  • Familiarity with gear selection criteria based on load and speed
  • Basic knowledge of machine design principles
  • Ability to interpret technical specifications for gears
NEXT STEPS
  • Research bevel gear design specifications and applications
  • Explore online gear selection tools and calculators
  • Learn about the impact of load and speed on gear performance
  • Investigate the principles of machine design for motion transmission
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, machine designers, and anyone involved in the design and selection of gear systems for motion transmission applications.

i am working on design of a machine which requires use of gear. I need to transmit horizontal rotational motion to vertical rotary motion. my question is their a means of getting the specific type and specification of gear am to use without calculating? if am to calculate how do i start and what parameters am i to use for my calculation starting from my shaft or pulley.
thank you in anticipation of a solution to my problem

The most common type used for this is a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bevel_gear" set.
Many companies have information on their websites for selecting gears, based on loads, speeds, conditions, etc.
Google "http://www.google.com/search?q=bevel+gear+selection"" returns a lot of options.

Bevel gears are the best options for transmission in such cases where shafts are either perpendicular or inclined at an angle.
