Cone Pulley Drive

Advantages
Can Absorb shock
High mechanical efficiency
Smooth running

Disadvantages
Large number of step is

not available
Time for setting
speed is high

Properties of Cone Pulley drive

If

the central distance of the two

cone pulley is larger than 10(d max d
min )and summation of diameter pair
is constant then the belt remain tight
for all position.
Transmitted power varies with
different belt position. To avoid much
variation of power and toque, the
drive should be designed so that

compact and require
less floor space.

METHOD OF SPEED CHANGING

Slip

gear
The mating gear pair on two
adjacent shaft are interchanged or
replaced by another pair of gears.
The condition for the
interchangeability

T1 + T2 = T3 + T4 = T5 + T6

SLIDING KEY METHOD

Two

sets of gear on two shaft are

constantly in mesh. One set is free to
rotate on the shaft. Only one gear of
free set is engaged by a sliding key

TUMBLER GEAR
A

number of gear is placed in one

shaft which is at fixed distance from
the output shaft. Used usually for
feed drives an known Norton
gearbox.

SLIDING TYPE CLUSTER

GEAR
A

set of cluster gear is moved along

a shaft to engage another set of
gears (one gear cluster is fixed at a
time).

Basic Principles for designing

Cluster Gear
Rule

-1

One set of gears in mesh must

completely disengage before next pair of

gears come into contact
Rule

The difference in the number of teeth of

adjacent gears of a cluster must be at

least 4 (assumed that all gears have the
same module)

can be changed by
engaging and disengaging
clutches with levers.
Advantages of this speed
changing method They require small axial

movement.
Helical and herringbone gear
can be used.
Force required to shift them
less than that for sliding cluster
gear

Shaft: male cone is sliding on

splines

Friction material: usually on

Spring: brings the male cone

back after using the clutch

Clutch control: separating both

cones by pressing

INFINITELY VARIABLE
DRIVE
Advantages
possible to attain optimum cutting

condition
Important in reduction of handling time,
because speed, feed can be changed
without stopping the machine.
Constant cutting speed can be obtained
for stepped shaft and irregular contour.
Tool life is improved and high surface finish.
Reduce vibration and noiseless.
