...Eastern Gear, Inc. Case Study In order to be efficient and to maximize growth and profitability, it is critical to evaluate basic operations and determine where the potential problem areas are. Before any analysis can be done, a clear and concise object in operations need to be defined. Eastern Gear is growing at a rapid rate and a plan for growth is necessary. Currently, there are inefficiencies in taking in taking orders. Not all of the necessary information such as tolerances or finishes is obtained at the time that the order is placed. Also, at the time the order is placed is when the raw materials are ordered which adds an additional 1-2 weeks of processing time. Aside from the additional processing time from not keeping raw materials on hand, production time has increased from 2 weeks after receiving materials to 4 weeks. The increase in production time is due to recent addition of processing large orders, which subsequently increases the amount of time needed for smaller orders. Time management is critical in managing efficiency. There are bottlenecks and they may vary from different machine centers. 90% of the time is spent waiting for a machine to become available and the other 10% is spent actually using the machine. In addition the layout of the facility allows for additional travel time than what is necessary. Each problem is described more in depth below. Problem #1 – Issues with the order taking process. There is only one person who takes orders. And...

...without the rest of the tool dragging on the workpiece surface. The angle of the cutting face is also important, as is the flute width, number of flutes or teeth, and margin size. In order to have a long working life, all of the above must be optimized, plus the speeds and feeds at which the tool is run. Spur: Spur gears or straight-cut gears are the simplest type of gear. They consist of a cylinder or disk with the teeth projecting radially, and although they are not straight-sided in form, the edge of each tooth is straight and aligned parallel to the axis of rotation. These gears can be meshed together correctly only if they are fitted to parallel shafts Helical: Helical gears offer a refinement over spur gears. The leading edges of the teeth are not parallel to the axis of rotation, but are set at an angle. Since the gear is curved, this angling causes the tooth shape to be a segment of a helix. Helical gears can be meshed in a parallel or crossed orientations. The former refers to when the shafts are parallel to each other; this is the most common orientation. In the latter, the shafts are non-parallel, and in this configuration are sometimes known as "skew gears"....

GRAPH 2) Typical revolution vs velocity relation for a 5-speed manual transmission check previous photo. discuss here: https://www.facebook.com/drexchan/posts/279650262057549 **revolution is RPM lah... **velocity is speed lor.... **applicable for automatic transmission too, don't ask. Now, check Graph 2, compare that to your driving style, see which rev range you use most (in normal driving, highway cruising, and sprint). Then compare that with Graph 1, see which type of extractor suits you. Situation A: You are doing a sprint, you will only use zone A (1k rpm to 3k rpm) once or twice and from 3rd gear on wards you will be using zone B (3k rpm to 6k rpm). So you want a 4-1 because it gains more in that range. Whatever gain in zone A (from a 4-2-1) is near to useless to you, and the gain in zone B from a typical 4-2-1 is lower than that from a typical 4-1. So a 4-1 is better for sprint. Situation B: You drive the car in town with traffic and you shift at 4k rpm max. You will need a 4-2-1 because you will be using the low to mid range most. The lost in zone...

...One of the most common types of garage door opener systems is the chain drive. It has a fixed motor that drives a sprocket attached to a moving chain. The chain moves a trolley that is attached to the door with a J-arm. While simple in concept, this power transmission system has several moving parts that add up to a lot of noise during operation. Other alternatives such as the screw-drive has fewer moving parts but is noisy nonetheless. On the other hand, the belt drive is quieter but has multiple moving parts that require maintenance and replacement when they wear out. However, a more recent garage door opener design called the direct-drive opener, does away with the power transmission system altogether. How is this possible? Because there...

...variation in speed be kept as low as possible. This is generally done by increasing the number of teeth. For this particular design given, the driver sprocket has 16 teeth, while the driven sprocket is said to have 46 teeth. The formula for speed variation is provided in the textbook on page 890. [pic] (Equation 1) [pic]([pic] (Equation 2) [pic]([pic] (Equation 3) Equations 2 and 3 indicate that speed variations are very small so this aspect of the design is acceptable. The next step is to take a second look at the polygon model of the sprocket. A 5/8” pitch chain specified within the design criteria so both the sprockets should have matching pitches to ensure proper meshing. Diametral pitch is defined as the number of teeth on a gear divided by the pitch diameter. To find the diameter of the sprockets, circumference...

...Spur Gears General: Spur gears are the most commonly used gear type. They are characterized by teeth which are perpendicular to the face of the gear. Spur gears are by far the most commonly available, and are generally the least expensive. The basic descriptive geometry for a spur gear is shown in the figure below. Limitations: Spur gears generally cannot be used when a direction change between the two shafts is required. Advantages:Spur gears are easy to find, inexpensive, and efficient. Helical Gears General: Helical gears are similar to the spur gear except that the teeth are at an angle to the shaft, rather than parallel to it as in a spur gear. (See the references for more specific information). The resulting teeth are longer than the teeth on a spur gear of equivalent pitch diameter. The longer teeth cause helical gears to have the following differences from spur gears of the same size: o o o Tooth strength is greater because the teeth are longer, Greater surface contact on the teeth allows a helical gear to carry more load than a spur gear The longer surface of contact reduces the efficiency of a helical gear relative to a spur gear Helical gears may be used to mesh two shafts that are not parallel, although they are still primarily use in parallel shaft applications. A special application in which helical gears are used is a crossed gear mesh, in which the two shafts are perpendicular to each other: The basic descriptive geometry for a helical...

Everything what happens in the surrounding is the expression of flow of energy in one of the forms. But in this fast moving world, population is increasing day by day and the conventional energy sources are lessening. The extensive usage of energy has resulted in an energy crisis over the few years. Therefore to overcome this problem we need to implement the techniques of optimal utilization of conventional sources for conservation of energy. My paper includes how to utilize the energy which is wasted when the vehicles passes over a speed breaker. Lots of energy is generated when vehicle passes over it. We can tap the energy generated and produce power by using the speed breaker as power generating unit. The kinetic energy of the moving vehicles can be converted into mechanical energy of the shaft through rack and pinion mechanism. Then, this mechanical energy will be converted to electrical energy using generator which will be saved...

There were so many messages that weren’t clear and the listeners really needed to take advantage of their critical thinking skills. This play’s style is epic theatre, this means that there is a lesson to be learned within the play. In the play they try and teach the lesson as if you are learning to drive a car. There are many different gears in a car, just like there are many different gears in your life. We have our childhood gear, this is where we learn the basics of life like what is right or wrong. We have our teenage gear, this is when we learn how to adapt into the real world and learn the knowledge to succeed. Next, we have our adult gear, this is where you take everything you learned and make a life for yourself. Lastly, we have our teaching gear, this is when we take everything we learned in life and we are able to teach and mentor our family. It all comes full circle just like how the student becomes the teacher. In our mind’s it is very simple everything comes in chronological order. Unfortunately, this does not always happen this way. This play was the perfect representation of that. Growing up Lil Bit was finding her life to at a rapid pace.

...Activity 1.1.3 Gears – FT Introduction You do not have to look far to see gears. You might not think of an object such as a computer as having a lot of moving parts, but the CD tray on your computer is likely controlled by gears. A traditional watch is full of gears. The watch has one source of power or input that must move multiple hands continuously and at different speeds. Some watches also keep track of the day of the month. This may be low-tech by today’s standards, but imagine the challenge of choosing just the right gears to keep a watch synchronized. In a watch the gears are used to manipulate rotational speed. Gears are also used in many applications to control torque and rotational direction. Equipment fischertechnik gears and support pieces Calculator Procedure In this activity you will learn about gear ratios and how they affect speed and torque within a system. You will also construct simple and compound gear systems. Functions of Gears Gears change the speed of rotation. Gears change the direction of rotation. Gears change torque values. Gear Ratios By joining together two or more gears of different sizes, both the speed and the torque are changed from the input gear to the output gear. The larger gear within a system will always move slower and have more torque than the smaller gear. Gear Ratio (GR) is a comparison between the driver gear, also called the input (connected to the power source), and the gear being driven, or the output. Below are...
