ES2C6 Week 4 Examples: Assessing,
sizing and analysing an electromechanical
system
Lecture 4.1: Rotary Transmission Systems (with efficiency from
lecture 4.4).
Question 1: A simple gear chain consisting of two meshed gears is shown below (A), along with the
number of teeth on the gears, the efficiency of the gearbox, and the input angular velocity and
torque. Find the input power, output power, output angular velocity in rad/s and output torque.

Solution 1: This is similar to an example from lecture 4.1, but with the added complication of an
efficiency, and the input velocity is given in rpm. The first step is to convert the input speed to rad/s:

Now the input and output power can be calculated as:
104.72 0.01 1.05 W
0.85 1.05 0.89 W

Remembering that the efficiency influences the torque transfer, not the velocity transfer, the output
torque and velocity can be found as:

Question 2: A compound gear chain using intermediate shafts is below, along with the number of
teeth on each gear, the efficiency between each driven and driver gear connection, and the input
velocity and torque. Calculate the product of the teeth on the driven gears, and the product of the
teeth on the driver gears. Use this to find the total gear ratio. Calculate the total efficiency of the
system. Find the output velocity and toque, and the velocity and torque of shaft A.
