Question

Design a compact three-stage compound spur gear train that will transmit 25 KW power from an electric motor running at 5080 rpm to an assembly conveyor whose drive shaft must rotate at 17 ± 0.1 rpm.

With a 20^O pressure angle, specify tooth numbers for each gear in the train to minimize the gearbox size while avoiding interference.

Find the torque on the input and output shafts.
