Problem 5 A bicycle is normally driven by the pedals through a roller chain transmission to the back wheel. The power efficiency of such a chain drive is 95 % if it is well lubricated and rather heavily loaded. To avoid getting oil on the trousers from the chain, a design change is considered. The chain drive is to be changed to a shaft with two sealed ball bearings inside a tube in the frame and a bevel gear drive at the pedals and another bevel gear drive at the back wheel. At the speed of 20 km/h the chain-driven bike requires 220 W to the rear wheel, and the same real wheel power is required for the new design. How large does the input power have to be for the new drive to run 20 km/h if the newly designed shaft rotates at 1200 rpm and the bearing and seal friction torque in each bearing is 0.1 Nm. The power efficiency for the bevel gears is 0.98. Also, calculate the total power efficiency for the new drive when the bicycle is driven at 20 km/h. (A: 255 W & 86.4%)

Gear unit selection • If the gear selection is based on the nominal power of the motor (input power of the gear), following condition must be valid 2 ∙ nominal torque of the gear ≥ starting torque of the motor
• Max power or torque which the gear can take for short times (max twice an hour about 20 seconds) is the double of the nominal power or torque of the gear • The thermally transferable power (thermal limit) should not be exceeded over a longer time period (3 hours) so that the gear unit does not overheat • The permissible overhung and axial forces on the output shaft of the gear unit should not be exceeded.
