Question

You must design a power transmission system to connect a DC motor to its load. The motor is given in the motor catalogue as a BM1400 motor. You must create a transmission that will connect to this motor and have a two stage gear reduction (i.e. there must be two sets of gear reduction) with a total drive reduction of 10:1. The final output shaft must be at 90 deg from the input shaft. You must specify all the components that will go in to the gearbox (gears, shafts, and bearings). Included with the motor catalogue is a gear and a bearing catalogue which you can use to select your components. Justify all your design decisions with calculation.
