Project Objectives:
Understand
rack
and
pinion
gear
mechanism.
Come up with an innovative solution for
building that design as a standard one.
Determine the various forces that are
meshed within gears.
In context of all the gear parameters referring
to right selection of material for rack and as
well as for pinion.

Need
Need is to develop a system for closing and
opening of railway crossing gate with rack
and pinion mechanism.
In order to design that we will have to
assume some data as shown:
Gate is to slide on a rail by rail and wheel mechanism.
Sliding path is frictionless.
Two rack and pinion gears are used to slide gate on rail as load
will uniformly be distributed mounted on its ends.

Preliminary Design
For spur gear design, pinion and rack both
have straight teeth or spur geometry of teeth.
So for we will first consider the design of
pinion as spur gear.

Classes of Gears
Transmitted load depends on the accuracy
of the gears
Gear Manufacture
Casting
Machining

Force Transmitted
Transmitted load depends on the accuracy of
the gears.
A dynamic load factor is added to take care
of this.
Ft = Transmitted force
Fd = Dynamic force

Classes of Gears
Carefully cut
Precision
Hobbed or shaved

Design Methods
Strength of gear tooth should be greater
than the dynamic force; Fs Fd
You should also include the factor of safety,
Nsf.

Conclusion
So far we have been able to calculate the
design of pinion only in the next phase of
project we will be designing the rack.
Passed on fundamental knowledge of rack
and pinion gear mechanism and it design
procedure & finally selecting the right
material for it.
