5 Power is to be transmitted from an electric motor to a conveyor through a belt drive
and a two-stage gear reducer. A pair of spur gears and a pair of helical gears are to
be used in the gear reducer. Propose at least two designs and compare them.
CAD Problems
1 Write a flow chart for the gear drive design process.
2 Develop a program to implement a user interface similar to Figure P8.5 and complete
Example Problem 8.1.
