In a compound gear train, the 'Train Value' is:
-
A.
the reciprocal of the velocity ratio
-
B.
the ratio of the speed of the driving gear to the speed of the driven gear
-
C.
the ratio of the number of teeth on the driven gear to the driver gear
-
D.
the product of the gear ratios in all stages
Correct Answer:
A. the reciprocal of the velocity ratio
Explanation:
In a compound gear train, the train value represents the reciprocal of the velocity ratio. It is defined as the ratio of the angular velocity of the final driven gear to the angular velocity of the first driving gear. This value can also be calculated by dividing the product of the number of teeth on all driving gears by the product of the number of teeth on all driven gears. Essentially, the train value indicates how much the output speed has changed relative to the input speed across all stages of the gear system.
