INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction
Engineering in general, and Mechanical engineering in particular, deals
with a wide spectrum of products, ranging from large and complex systems
comprising of numerous elements down to a single component. Apart from
being a physical object, a product can also be a service that requires the
application of engineering knowledge, skills and devices to be useful to society.
A service falls under the category of a system in that it is carried out with the
help of personnel, facilities and procedures. The service offered by an
automobile maintenance and repair garage would be a typical example from
mechanical engineering. Even computer software could be treated as an
engineering product. It is also created using engineering knowledge and skills.
In the following, the term product when used alone denotes the object to be
designed and made with the help of engineering knowledge and skills,
irrespective of whether it is a large system, a simple machine, a component or a
service. Specific reference to design of computer software is not attempted in
the following although many of the generalities apply to it also.
A general understanding of the nature of product is a prerequisite for
designing it. A complex product can be sub divided into sub assemblies or sub
system, component etc. Frequently the planning, layout and design of a complex
multi element product is an interdisciplinary effort, requiring the expertise and
skills not only of several engineering specialization but even non engineering
ones.
It is always preferable that our work should be easy and fast. But easy
and fast working requires some technical skills to work efficiency and properly.
In our daily life we face many problems where we need a lot of effort and time

1
to do that specific work. A little but important work we do often is opening a
tyre of a vehicle. It is a fact that a huge effort is required to open a single nut of
a car wheel and it will become a tedious task to open the wheel in extreme
atmospheric conditions. It also creates problem when we are in hurry.
Here we get the solution of the problem mentioned above Multi nut
remover is a special tool designed by us which will open a tyre easily. It is so
designed that it can open all the four nuts of a car wheel in one time. And the
most desired achievement we get is that total effort and time needed in the
process is very less. It can open and also refit the tyre with the same tool easily.
Tool is simple in design, easy to use and easily portable along with the vehicle.
Overall of instrument is in the reach of average citizen. Great efforts are made
to satisfy each and every technical aspects of the design.

1.3 Application
Application domain of unified Wheel Opener is in automobile industries.
According to our preplanned project we describe the following places where it
can be used successfully:

2
 It can be used as standard equipment provided with a new vehicle for the
purpose of opening and refit a punctured wheel in the midway.
It can be used in workshops to open a wheel in place of using pneumatic
guns which are restricted to the availability of light and compressed air; it
can be easily operated with hands.
It can be used in assembly line of automobiles where more time is
consumed in tightening all the four nuts one by one. As it takes less time to
fit a new tyre, it will lead to increase productivity.

1.4 Objective
A simple mechanism if used properly can lead to a great success. U.W.O. is a
tool which is made for automobile field. Aim of our project is to save time and
human effort. We have tried our best to adopt the design having minimum input
torque and required output torque which is not possible without using U.W.O.

1.5 Organization at Work

Completion of any work requires proper planning and management from the
initial stage. From case study to fabrication different steps are involved. First of
all we decide the aim of our project. Application of our design, benefits and
other aspects are discussed in the first chapter.

In the second lap of our work we finalize about the material required for the
fabrication of different parts. A lot of engineering materials are studied before
the selection of material.

After the selection of material the big work is to design each and every part of
the project. Design of gears, shafts, axles, sprockets, pinion and other parts are
described in next pages.

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Introduction
A lot of research activities has been carried out on gears mechanisms since very
first gear was manufactured. A gear transmits the power from one shaft to
another in various relative position. Many engineers and designers put there
efforts in this field and succeeded also. They put all of their knowledge and the
studies about gears on papers, with the use of these papers anyone can know
about advancement of the research carried out by them.

With these research papers, we come to know various aspects about gear. These
papers explore how a mechanism can be driven at uniform speed and non
uniform speed. Also these papers tells about selection of material for a gear
depending upon requirement. There are a number of different gears which have
different application areas. The research papers helps in choosing the
appropriate type of gear.

Wen-Hsiang Hsie in his paper An experimental study on cam-controlled

planetary gear trains describes that a mechanism is driven by a motor at
uniform speed. However, more and more researches indicate that there are many
advantages if a mechanism can be driven at non-uniform speed, and this kind of
mechanism is called a variable input mechanism. The purpose of this work is to
propose a novel approach for driving a variable speed mechanism by using a
cam-controlled planetary gear train, and to investigate its feasibility by
conducting prototype experiments. First, the geometrical design is performed.
Then, the kinematic equations and the cam profile equations are derived based
on the geometry of the mechanism.
Cam-controlled planetary gear trains (CCPGT) are planetary gear trains with
cam pairs. Chironis illustrated a CCPGT in his book From the exploded view .it
is composed of a cam groove (the frame), a sun gear (the output), a planetary

5
gear, and an arm (the input). In general, the planetary arm rotates at constant
speed, and drives the planetary gear to revolve around the sun gear and to spin
around itself simultaneously. At the same time, the planetary gear produces an
oscillatory motion through the contact of the attached roller and the cam groove.
Therefore, the sun gear can produce a non-uniform motion by engaging with the
planetary gear. The main advantage is that it can produce a wide range of non-
uniform output motion.

Kuen-BaoSheu in his paper Analysis and evaluation of hybrid scooter

transmission systems describes a new design concept of transmissions for the
hybrid scooters. These transmissions consist of a one-degree-of-freedom
planetary gear train and a two-degree-of-freedom planetary gear train to from a
split power system and to combine the power of two power sources, a gasoline
engine and an electric motor. In order to maximize the performance and reduce
emissions, the transmissions can provide a hybrid scooter to run five operating
modes: electric motor mode; engine mode; engine/charging mode; power mode,
and regenerative braking mode. The main advantages of the transmissions
proposed in this paper include the use of only one electric motor/generator, need
not use clutch/brake for the shift of the operating modes, and high efficiency.

Motorcycles/scooters are providing the basic and personal transport services in

many of Taiwans urban areas. This cause air pollution in Taiwans urban areas
is rapidly increasing to dangerous levels since a major source of emission comes
from the exhausts of gasoline scooters. Existing and proposed battery-powered
scooters have low performance and therefore been sold only in small quantities
and are not widely used. Hybrid vehicles are widely investigated recently. This
is because, that from economical and technical points of view the hybrid
concepts offer the possibility of achieving to fill the gap of zero emission
powered and gasoline engine powered vehicles.

6
Ligang Yao Jian S. Dai Guowu Wei and Yingjie Cai in their paper states that
investigates meshing characteristics of the toroidal drive with different roller
shapes, examines the effect on the characteristics from roller shapes and
produces a comprehensive comparative study. Based on the coordinate
transformation, the paper introduces the generic models of meshing
characteristics and characterizes the meshing to introduce both undercutting and
meshing limit curves. The paper further develops meshing functions and their
derivatives with respect to each drive type with a different roller shape. This
leads to a comprehensive examination of each meshing characteristics against
each drive type of a roller shape. The comparative study focuses on the effect of
contact curves, tooth profile, undercutting, meshing limit curves and the
induced normal curvature.

The toroidal drive offers the advantages such as a high horsepower-to-weight

ratio, coaxial configurations, compactness, and high operating efficiencies. It
combines most of the positive attributes of a circular worm-gear drive and an
epicyclic gear drive without their negative aspects due to the introduction of
rollers in meshing contact with rolling movement between a sun-worm and
planet worm-gears, and between a stationary internal gear and planet worm-
gears.

Using rollers as meshing media is popular in mechanical transmissions such as

ball screws, roller gear cams, roller enveloping worm drives, cycloid drives, and
the toroidal drives. Meshing via rollers which leads to rolling contact has the
advantages of lower noise and higher transmission efficiency. It has a
substantial effect on meshing characteristics. Comparative analysis of meshing
characteristics with respect to different meshing rollers of the toroidal drive.
Gordon R. Pennock and Jeremiah J. Alwerdt in their paper Duality
between the kinematics of gear trains and the statics of beam systems
describes about the geometric insight into the duality between the first-order

7
kinematics of gear trains and the statics of beam systems. The two devices have
inherent geometrical relationships that will allow the angular velocities of the
gears in a gear train to be investigated from a knowledge of the forces acting on
the beams of the dual beam system, and vice versa. The primary contribution of
the paper is the application of this duality to obtain the dual beam system for a
given compound planetary gear train, and vice versa. The paper develops a
systematic procedure to transform between the first-order kinematics of a gear
train and the statics of the dual beam system. This procedure provides a simple
and intuitive approach to study the speed ratios of a planetary gear train and the
force ratios of the dual beam system.
It is interesting to note that planetary gear trains (commonly referred to as
epicyclic gear trains) were known, and in use, at least 2000 years ago. Despite
the antiquity and widespread applications in machinery, however, the principles
of operation of planetary gear trains are not generally understood. Also, the
literature devoted to planetary gear trains is scarce at best although a
comprehensive treatise on the theory of epicyclic gears and epicyclic change-
speed gears was written by Levai. Planetary gear trains offer advantages over
ordinary gear trains, for example, for the same speed ratio they can be smaller in
size and have less weight. There are several techniques that are commonly
applied to the kinematic analysis of planetary gear trains; for example, the
instant center method, the principle of superposition using a tabular method, and
identifying the fundamental circuits of the train. Also, an analogy between
planetary gear trains and beam systems using one-dimensional vectors was
presented by Kerr. The available methods, however, do not provide geometrical
insight into the gear train in a direct manner that is suitable for a specific
application.

Stefan Staicu in his paper, Inverse dynamics of a planetary gear train for
robotics states that recursive matrix relations concerning the geometric
analysis, kinematics and dynamics of a Bendix wrist planetary bevel-gear train
8
for robotics are established in the paper. The prototype of this mechanism is a 3-
DOF system with seven links and four bevel gear pairs controlled by electric
motors. Supposing that the rotational motion of the platform is known, an
inverse dynamic problem is developed using the principle of virtual powers.
Some relations and graphs for torques and powers of three actuators are
determined.

A robot manipulator needs at least six degrees of freedom to manipulate an

object freely in space. The first three moving links are used primarily for
manipulating the position, while the second mechanism is used for controlling
the orientation of the end-effectors. The subassembly associated with the last
moving links is called the wrist, and their joint axes are often designed to
intersect at a common point called the wrist centre.

Planetary bevel-gear trains with three degrees of freedom are adopted as the
design concept for robotic wrist. Bevel-gear wrist mechanisms are generally
incorporated in the structure of the robots.

Amemiya, T. (1984), in his paper says that the question of the location of
exporters of manufactured goods within a country is investigated. Based on
insights from new trade theory, the new economic geography (NEG) and
gravity-equation modeling, an empirical model is specified with agglomeration
and increasing returns (the home market effect) and transport costs (proxied by
distance) as major determinants of the location decision of exporters. Data from
354 magisterial districts in South Africa are used with a variety of estimators
(OLS, Tobit, RE-Tobit) and allowances for data shortcomings (bootstrapped
standard errors and analytical weights) to identify the determinants of regional
manufactured exports. It is found that the home-market effect (measured by the
size of local GDP) and distance (measured as the distance in km to the nearest
port) are significant determinants of regional manufactured exports. This paper
contributes to the literature.

9
Theoretical and empirical work in international trade has, with a few
exceptions, predominantly focused on trade between countries, as opposed to
focusing on where exports originate within a country. International trade theory
until fairly recently assumed away all elements that might make consideration
of the geography of exports possible. For instance, transport costs, distance,
market size, scale economies and agglomeration were only recently
incorporated into trade models. Moreover, where transport costs in international
trade are concerned, empirical work has so far tended to focus on international
shipping costs.
Tadashi TAKEUCHI and Kazuhide TOGAI describes in their paper about
Meshing transmission error (TE) is well known as a contributing factor of gear
whine, but system- level prediction of transmission error and quantitative
analysis of dynamic meshing vibromotive force have not been analyzed
adequately until now. This paper describes the use of a computer- aided-
engineering (CAE) model for the analysis of the dynamic gear meshing
behavior and for the prediction of dynamic transmission error from the input
torque of the system. This paper also describes the analysis of a dynamic
vibromotive force at a bearing location where vibration is transmitted to the
vehicle body. The gear whine critical frequency can be predicted with the
proposed method at an early stage of passenger-car development when no
prototype is available.
Gear whine is an automotive quality problem that can be perceived by any
driver regardless of his/her level of driving experience, but it tends to manifest
itself in the final stages of vehicle development when, in most cases, effective
design measures that can be taken against it are extremely limited.
Consequently, power train designers have a great need for CAE technologies
that enable them to predict gear whine using a virtual power train before the
power train is physically constructed.

10
Inputs to the transmission and other power-train elements in the vehicle include
the engine torque and accompanying fluctuations, which are regarded as
combustion- originated dynamic-excitation factors. These inputs, however,
initiate only vibration within the growling-sound frequency range, not vibration
at whine frequencies, which are much higher. If gear-tooth shapes were
optimum and tooth meshing were perfect, the gears would transmit the input
torque in a manner precluding the generation of frequency components other
than those related to engine-torque fluctuations. In actual gear-tooth meshing,
however, forced displacements resulting from meshing error causes meshing
vibromotive forces to be generated during torque transmission. These
vibromotive forces then constitute a source of vibration. Further, the complete
power-train system includes shafts and cases whose stiffness has an influence
on gear-tooth meshing in such a way that the meshing vibromotive forces have
peaks at certain frequencies.
Hiroyuki Kato, Ken Iwanami, Hiroshi Arai, Koji Asanotells describes in
their paper, in addition to performance (running safety and stability, and riding
comfort) compatible with great increases in driving speed, ensuring of
reliability when running at high speeds, and use for service operation based on
long term durability and ease of maintenance must all be considered. Therefore,
configurations including use of new structural elements were reviewed for the
main structural parts of the bogie. In addition to significant investigation of the
strength and performance through numerical analysis at the investigation stage,
a first prototype was built and performance tests and long term endurance tests
through bench testing were performed for confirmation. Bogies for which
development proceeded in this manner have been installed on a Shinkansen
high speed test train and performance confirmation is being performed through
actual running tests. Here, with regard to the development details and
development process for the high speed Shinkansen bogie, the bogie and the

11
main parts such as driving device, axle bearings, and brake components are
mainly introduced.
As described previously, the stiffness of the primary suspension for the bogie
that has been developed has been reduced to improved vertical direction riding
comfort; therefore, the displacement between the traction motor axle and the
pinion axle has gotten large. Therefore, 2 types of axle couplings (gear type axle
coupling and TD coupling) that have reduced rotation noise and that are
compatible with this amount of displacement have been developed.
Keith Hart in his paper describes that fluctuations in the balance of the
relationship between impersonal and personal principles of social organization.
This draws heavily on Max Webers interpretation of western history. The
second part reviews the concept of an informal economy/sector from its origin
in discussions of the Third World urban poor to its present status as a universal
feature of economy. The third part asks how we might conceive of combining
the formal/informal pair with a view to promoting development. In conclusion I
suggest how partnerships between bureaucracy and the people might be made
more equal.
We are asked to consider how the informal/formal pair might be linked more
effectively for the purpose of development. They are of course linked already
since the idea of an informal economy is entailed by the institutional effort to
organize society along formal lines. Form is the rule, an idea of what ought to
be universal in social life; and for most of the twentieth century the dominant
forms have been those of bureaucracy, particularly of national bureaucracy,
since society has become identified to a large extent with the nation-state. This
identity may now be weakening as a result of the digital revolution in
communications and neo-liberal economic policies (Hart 2001a). If there are to
be new initiatives combining public bureaucracy with informal popular
practices in complementary ways, we need to be aware of this historical context.

12
The formal and informal appear to be separate entities because of the use of the
term sector. This gives the impression that the two are located in different
places, like agriculture and manufacturing, whereas both the bureaucracy and its
antithesis contain the formal/informal dialectic within themselves as well as
between them. The need to link the sectors arises from a widespread perception
that their relationship consists at present of a class war between the bureaucracy
and the people. It was not supposed to be like this. Modern bureaucracy was
invented as part of a democratic political project to give citizens equal access to
what was theirs as a right. It still has the ability to coordinate public services on
a scale that is beyond the reach of individuals and most groups. So it is
disheartening that bureaucracy (the power of public office) should normally be
seen now as the negation of democracy (the power of the people) rather than
as its natural ally.
Forms are necessarily abstract and a lot of social life is left out as a result. This
can lead to an attempt to reduce the gap by creating new abstractions that
incorporate the informal practices of people into the formal model. Naming
these practices as an informal sector is one such devise. It appears to be
informal because its forms are largely invisible to the bureaucratic gaze.
Mobilizing the informal economy will require a pluralistic approach based on at
least acknowledgement of those forms. Equally, the formal sphere of society is
not just abstract, but consists also of the people who staff bureaucracies and
their informal practices. Somehow the human potential of both has to be
unlocked together.

2.2 Conclusion
Taking the idea from all research paper which are included in the literature
review. We came to a point that by using gear-train mechanism we can make a
system which is used to open the nut of a wheel with minimum torque so, as to
eliminate the hard-work of person with minimum time. In all research paper

13
idea is given that how gear train works, and how the power transmission take
place.

components is done so that each and every component will serve its proper
function and it will not fail after words. Then how to manufacture the different
components or the various manufacturing processes that are to be used to

METHODOLOGY
3.1 CAD DIAGRAM

The design of the MULTI NUT REMOVER AND TIGHTENER is performed

by commercial computer aided design (CAD) software as shown by Figure 1.

Fig. 1.Multi nut remover conceptual design.

Several static load analyses are also performed in order to find the safety factor
of the design. Theoretical calculation analysis is carried out with the purpose of
validation. The force required for removing four numbers of nuts is,
F = 4 / (lRG) (1)

In the fabrication of Multi nut removing tool, two processes are

performed; milling and fitting. Since the gears are not available in the market,
custom designed gears need precision milling and fitting processes. Once the
tool is ready, an experiment is performed with the intention to find the time
required to remove the nuts. This result is then compared with the time required

16
using ordinary L-shaped wrench. Experiment using impact wrench is also
performed.

 MATERIAL SELECTION
4.1 Introduction To Engineering Materials
The selection of a material for a particular application is governed by the
working condition to which it will be subjected, ease of Manufacturing and the
cost considerations, pure metals find few applications in pure condition and
secondly they generally have poor strength in pure form. Various desired and
special properties can be achieved by addition of different material to form
alloys. Alloy comprises of a base metal and one or more alloying elements. The
typical properties associated with working condition are tenacity elasticity
toughness and hardness, toughness and typical properties associated with
manufacturing process is ductility, malleability and plasticity. The various
properties can be determined by testing techniques e.g. tensile test resistance to
abrasion by hardness test toughness by impact test and other special properties
like fatigue and creep test.
4.2 Engineering Material For Product Design
All physical objects are made out of some material substance or other. Mother
Nature has her own set of building material for the objects of her creation,
living or non-living. Over the millennia, man has observed and adapted many of
these for making objects of his invention and design. For engineering purposes,
we now use a very wide spectrum of materials. These generally fall under the
following categories:-

Materials as found in nature used after only very minor preparation such as
cutting to size, sun-drying, mixing with water. Some examples are coal,
wood and stones.
Natural materials that are modified/ refined before use through some
physical, chemical or thermal processes that improve their utilization.

18
 Synthesized materials that are rarely found freely in nature. These are
derived from one or more natural raw materials through major
transformation processes. Most of the materials used in modern mechanical
engineering belong to this category.
4.3 Selection Criteria
The designer selects the materials of construction for his product based on
several criteria such as its cost, the desirable properties that it should possess, its
availability, the preferred manufacturing processes that are to be employed, etc.
The overall economy is influenced by all these factors. In special cases,
essentiality and /or urgency of the need for the product can supersede the
economic considerations. The main criteria for material selection are discussed
below:
4.3.1 Cost Of The Material
The amount of raw materials, their composition, quality, any special heat-
treatment that is required, etc. influence the unit cost of materials. The unit cost
generally depends also on the quantity of raw material that is purchased in a
single lot. Special steel materials, for example, cost much more in the market
when purchased in small quantities from a retailer than in bulk directly from the
steel mill/stockyard.

4.3.2 Availability
The material should be readily available in adequate quantities. Material
availability is closely linked with the variety and level of technology obtained in
a given geographic location. Procuring materials from far and wide can be
expensive, due to the additional cost for transport, for transporter taxes and
duties etc.
4.3.3 Manufacturing Process

19
Facilities for shaping and treating the selected material into the finished product
or component must be available for economic production. Otherwise, the
production cost goes up. For example, the selection of forged alloy steel for a
connecting rod design necessarily assumes that a suitable forging facility is
available along with the necessary dies and other accessories. If the alloy is of a
rare quality, then facilities for its heat treatment might not be available.
4.3.4 Properties Of The Material
The desired function and performance of any product depends to a great extent
on the use of materials with the right physical and chemical properties. In
general mechanical engineering these properties can be classified into different
categories depending on how a particular property affects the function and life
of a component. The main property groups are:-
Chemical Composition, specifying the contents of all the different
elements contained.
Properties of state, such as solid, liquid or gas, density, porosity,
temperature.
Strength related properties, such as ultimate strengths in tension,
compression and shear, yield strength/ 0.2% strength, fatigue strength,
notch sensitive, hardness, impact strength, effect of high/low
temperatures on strength, etc.
Strain related properties, such as elongation at fracture, elastic moduli,
ductility, malleability etc. these help to ensure the desired rigidity/
elasticity, formability etc.
Wear related properties, that determine the erosion, abrasion, friction
etc. between components in contact/ relative motion.

4.4 Selection Of Material

Carbon steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with varying quantities of
phosphorus and sulphur. To this alloy is added a deoxidizer to remove or

20
minimize the last traces of oxygen. Manganese is added to such an alloy to
neutralize sulphur, either alone are in combination with silicone or other
deoxidizers.
In carbon steel the maximum content of the following elements does not
exceeding the limits given against each:
Manganese .. 1.65%
Silicone .. 0.60%
Copper .. 0.60%

The elements which are specified and are added into the carbon steel are carbon,
manganese, phosphorus, sulphur and silicon. The effect of these elements in
carbon steel is given below:
CARBON contents are very important in determining the properties of steel.
The tensile strength of steel increases with increase in carbon contents up to
0.83% and beyond this it drops quickly. Hardness increases as the carbon
contents increases. Ductility and weld ability decreases with increase in
carbon contents.
Manganese: Tensile strength and hardness increases with increase in
manganese content weld ability decreases by increase in manganese.
Manganese content in steel varies from 0.2 to 0.8%.
Phosphorus: Tensile strength and hardness increases with increase in
phosphorus content. The phosphorus content in steel varies from 0.005 to
0.12% and maximum content permitted is 0.4%. In low phosphorus steel,
phosphorus steel, phosphorus is dissolved in matrix and in others it appears
as phosphate precipitate.
Sulphur: Sulphur in steel lowers the toughness and transverse ductility,
Sulphur imparts brittleness to chips removed in machining operations. The
maximum permitted contents of sulphur in steel is 0.055%.

21
 Silicon: It is the principal deoxidizer used in the carbon steel Presence of
silicon in steel promotes increase of grain size and deep hardening
properties. Its addition is very useful in making steel adaptable for case
carburizing. Presence of the silicon varies from 0.1 to 0.35%.
Copper: Though it is not an essential constituent of carbon steel yet it is
added up to 0.25% to increase the resistance to atmospheric corrosion.
The most important composition for carbon used as engineering material having
carbon % 0.02 to 0.30. Their merchantability is quite good. Such steel are used
in making small forging, crank pin, Gear, Valve, Crank shaft, railway axles,
cross head, connecting rods, rims for turbine gears, armature shafts and fish
plates.
4.4.1 Stainless Steels
Stainless steel is iron base alloy that has a great resistance to corrosion. It is
observed that a thin, transparent and very tough film forms on the surface of
stainless steel which is inert or passive and does not react with many corrosive
material within a temp range of 235 0C to 9800C, it exhibits strength, toughness
and corrosion resistance superior to other metals. It is just ideally suited for
handling and storage of liquid helium, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen that exist
at cryogenic temp. The property of corrosion resistance is obtained by adding
chromium only or by adding chromium and nickel together. Stainless steel is
manufactured in electric furnaces.
4.4.2 Cast Iron
Cast iron is a general term applied to wide range of iron carbon alloys. Their
carbon contents are such as to cause some liquid of eutectic composition (called
ledeburite) to solidify. The minimum carbon contents are therefore about 2%
while the maximum is about 4.3%.
Cast iron should not be thought of as a metal having single element. It, at least,
possesses six elements. These are iron, carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus

22
and sulphur. Alloy cast iron has still other elements, which have important effect
on its physical properties.
4.4.3 Mild Steel
Plain carbon steel in which carbon contents ranges from 0.08 to below 0.3 are
known as mild steel. Those mild steel in carbon contents is less than 0.15% are
known as dead mild steel. Mild steel are not such effected by heat treatment
processes, especially hardening process. A decrease in carbon content improves
the ductility of mild steel. These steels possess good machinability and
weldability. The are mainly used for making wires, rivets, nut, bolt, screw,
sheets, plates, tube, roads, shafts, structural steel section and for general
workshop purposes etc.

 CHAPTER-5
DESIGN PROCEDURE
5.1 Design And Product Cycle
All engineering activities necessarily begin with some ideas with high or low
innovative content, translated into definite plans for their realization in the form
of products. This is the essence of design engineering. The ultimate success
depends on a thorough consideration of how the product will be made and used
as well as on the attention to detail paid by the design engineering. This is
applicable equally for a minor redesign of a existing product or for a most
innovative one. A good understanding of how the various phases of the product
cycle can influence the design is therefore Essential. The Product Cycle can be
better understood by fig. 1.

5.2 The Challenges Of Design Engineering

The present day industry bases economy is founded on the consumption of as
many different products as possible by as much number of users as possible. It
serves as an engine driving technology. The numbers put manufacturing under
pressure; the numbers as well as the variety put greater pressure on design
engineering. This is manifested by
Short time available for design, development and testing of the product
before it reaches the user.
Demands from the users for affordable cost combined with high quality of
performance and appearance.
Increasing number of competition who can supply a product of equivalent

value. On one side, the scientific cooperation and exchange of information

have become international. On the other side, industrial activities and
communications network have become globalized. Given the present day

24
 ease of access to technology, major break through in product innovation and
design are not really essential for industries to produce and prosper.

In order to ensure the conditions, not only must the design concept be novel and
sound but the design must be well engineered. This engineering part of design
consists of
Drawing up the main parameters for function and performance.
Deciding the material, shape and dimensions of the components.
Ensuring that the component dimensions satisfy the functional and strength
requirement.
Ensuring the feasibility to manufacture or otherwise procure all the
necessary components, assemble them together and test them.
Preparing the component and assembly drawing for guiding manufacture and
inspection.
5.4 Introduction To Design
Spanners are used to open the wheel. Spanners in the use are of various types.
The different kinds of spanners in use are shown in figure One thing is very
common for all these spanners: only a single nut is opened in a single time. This
causes wastage of precious time and since to open all the nuts spanner is to
engaged and disengaged again and again till the last nut is unscrewed or
screwed. Thus in this work a large amount of power is required to perform the
requisite operation below Fig. 2

Multi nut remover

These disadvantages are removed in multi nut remover. The idea is to

reduce time when release the wheel or put it on. By using this device, wheel
nuts can be opened simultaneously at one time. The supposed design of the

27
unified wheel opener is shown below. On pictures, we can see handle,
casing/gears housing, and wheel nut connectors. Wheel nut connectors are
connected to wheel nut, and the number of connector depends on the number of
studs. So it will be different according to wheel type and size. Inside the Casing,
there are simple gears mechanisms, causing one rotation of The Handle to make
two rotations of the wheel nuts.

5.6 Design Procedure For Gear & Pinion:

Torque required for one nut = 70N-m
Total torque required = 470N-m
= 280N-m
Let input torque =30N-m

Maximum Tangential force on pinion (WT) =2Ti/DP

=2301000/18

28
 =1333.3N
For 200 stub teeth system,
Lewis Factor for pinion,
Yp = 0.175-(0.841m/18) = 0.175-(0.047m)

For EN8 Mild Steel = 750MPa

We know that, Assume
Module, (m) =2.7mm
Now, as we know
Number of teeth on pinion (Tp) = Dp/m
Also, Number of teeth on gear (Tg) =Dg/m
Therefore,
Tp = 50/2.7 = 18
Tg = 60/2.7 = 22

Other dimensions for pinion &gear are as:

Addendum =0.943m=2.546
Dedendum =1.257m=3.393
Minimum total depth = 2.200m = 5.94
Minimum clearance =0.314m=0.848
Backlash = 0.157m = 0.424
Thickness of tooth = 1.493m =4.031
Outside diameter of pinion = (Tp+2 )m =54
Outside diameter of gear = (Tg+2) m = 64.8

5.7 Design For Pinion Shaft

Normal load acting on pinions tooth, (Wn ) = WT/ Cos = 1333.3/cos200
=1418.86N
29
Weight of pinion (Wp) = 0.00118Tpbm2 = 2.55N
Therefore, resultant load on pinion (WR) =
= (Wn2+Wp2+2WnWpCos)0.5
= 1421.19N
Assuming pinion is overhung on shaft at 600 mm
Bending moment on shaft due to WR is M
M = WR60 = 1421.19N 60
= 85271.8N-mm
And twisting moment on shaft due to WT is T
T = WTDp/2 =66665N-mm
Equivalent twisting moment is Te = (M2+T2)0.5 = 108237.9N-mm
Let dp be the diameter of pinion shaft
dp = Dp3 =3.7410^-550^3
=14.7or 15mm (say)

5.8 Design For Compound Shaft

Normal load acting on pinion tooth, (Wn) = WT/Cos =1333.3/Cos200
=1418.86N
Weight of pinion WP=0.00118Tgbm2 = 6.96N
Therefore, resultant load on pinion,
WR = (Wn2+Wp2+2WnWpCos)0.5
WR = 1425.4N
Assuming pinion is overhung on shaft at 30mm
Therefore bending moment on shaft due to WR is
(M)=WR30=1425.430
= 42762.06N-mm
And twisting moment on shaft due to Wt is T
T = WTDg/2 = 1333.360/2
=40000N-mm

30
Equivalent twisting moment is Te

Te = (M2+T2)0.5
= 58554.2N-mm
Let dg = Diameter of gear shaft.
As, Te = dg3/16
58554.2 = 110dg3/16
So, dg =13.9mm or 14mm (say)

5.9 Design For Output Shaft

Max. Tangential force on output gear,
WT = (WTDg/Dp)
= 1600.05N
Normal load acting on tooth,
Wn = WT/Cos
=1600.05/Cos200
=1702.73N
Weight of gear,
WP =0.00118Tgbm2
=0.001182213.52.72
=2.6N
Therefore resultant load on gear,
WR = (Wn2+Wp2+2WnWpCos )0.5
= 1705.17N
Assuming gear is overhung on shaft at 5mm
Therefore bending moment on shaft due to WR is M
M = WR5 = 1705.175
= 8525.86N-mm
And twisting moment on shaft due to WT is T

31
 T = WTDG/2 = 1600.0560/2
= 48001.5N-mm
And equivalent twisting moment is Te,
Te = (M2+T2)1/2
= 48752.8N-mm
Let dG = Diameter of gear shaft,
Let Te = (/16)dG3
48752.8 = (/16)230dG3
So, dG = 36.5 mm or 37 mm(say)
All the component are designed to serve their functions properly and taking into
account the various consideration such as material, labour, availability of
technology, economic, safety, usage, reliability, maintainability, functionality
etc. These components will be manufactured according to their design
specifications.

EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
6.1.FABRICATION AND EXPERIMENTATION:
Assembly as shown in fig. it consists of four gear and central pinion for input.
Pinion is a driving member. These gears are mounted on base plate by using nut
and bolt arrangement. The tool is made of medium carbon steel. A spanner
holder is directly attached with the driven gears. Grease is used to reduce wear,
tear and heat of friction from mating gears. Once the tool is assembled, a layer
of paint is applied to finish the surface and protect from corrosion.

CHAPTER-7
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
7.1 Gears
The commonly used generating processes used for the generation of gear teeth
are:-
1. Gear Shaper Process
2. Rack Planning Process
3. Hobbing Process.

7.1.1 Gear Shaper Process

In this process a pinion shaped cutter is used which carries clearance on the
tooth face and sides. It carries a hole in the center for mounting on the stub
arbor or spindle of the machine. The cutter is mounted with the axis vertical and
is reciprocated up and down by sliding the spindle head along the vertical ways
on the machine. In addition to the reciprocating motion, the cutter and the gear
blank both are rotated slowly their own axis. The relative speed of rotation of
the two is the same as the gear to be cut will have with a pinion of the same
number of teeth as the cutter. It is accomplished by providing a gear train
between the cutter spindle and the work spindle. The cutter in its rotation
generates the tooth profile on the gear blank. All gears cut by the same cutter
will mesh correctly. This is a specific advantage of this process over the forming
process using rotary cutters. Also it is a much faster process than rotary cutting.
7.1.2 Gear Planning

35
In this process rack type cutters for generating of spur. Involutes rack has
straight edges and sharp corners and hence can be manufactured easily and
accurately. The cutters generate as they are cut and as the name implies, the
machine cuts the teeth by reciprocating planning action of the cutter. This is a
true generating process since it utilizes the principle that an involute curve can
be formed by a straight generator when a gear blank is made to roll without slip
relative to the generator.
7.1.3 Gear Hobbing
In this process, the gear blank is rolled with a rotating cutter called the HOB. A
majority of the involue gears are produced by this method. A gear hob looks like
a worm, but carries a number of straight flutes (gashes), cut all around, parallel
to its axis. This results in the production of separate cutting teeth and cutting
edges. In operation, the hob is rotated at as suitable speed and fed into the gear
blank. The blank also rotates simultaneously. The speeds of the two are so
synchronizes that the blank rotates through one pitch distance for each complete
revolution of the hob. There is no intermittent motion of the two and the
generating continues steadily. The hob teeth are just like screw threads, i.e.
having a definite helix angle. The hob is, therefore tilted to its own helix angle
while cutting the gear so that its teeth are square with the blank and produces a
true involute shape.
7.1.4 Gear Milling
Milling is one of the metal removal process best known for making gear. Here a
firm cutter is passed through the gear blank to affect the tooth gap, helical gear,
worm & worm wheel and bevel gear can be manufactured by milling.
Gear milling is less costly and less accurate process and it is employed for the
following:-
Coarse pitch gear
Racks of all pitches
Worms
36
 Toothed parts as sprockets and ratchets.
The production capacity in this method is low since each space is machined
separately and the time is lost in retuning the job to its initial position and in
indexing for each tooth. In actual practice a series of cutters are selected for a
number of teeth to be milled.

Out of all above processes we select the Gear Shaping for the manufacturing of
all the gears. The various reasons for selection of this process are as following:-
1. This process of making gears is cheaper than hob cutter.
2. Gear shaping machines are easily available.
3. All gears can be made of same pitch by same cutter.
7.2 Axles
In the manufacturing of the axles following operations are used:-
Turning
Facing
Grinding
Grooving
Drilling
Parting Off
Assembly
7.2.1 Turning
It may be defined as the machining the operation for generating external
surfaces of the revolution by the action of the cutting tool on a rotating work
piece. When the same action is applied to internal surfaces of the revolution, the
process is termed as boring.
7.2.2 Facing
Facing operation machines the ends of the work piece. It provides a surface
which is square with the axis of the work piece from which to start the job.

37
Facing is done by feeding the cross slide or compound in or out. In facing the
cutting tool moves from the center of the job towards its periphery and vice
versa. Facing is primarily used to smooth off a saw- cut end of a piece of bar
stock or to smooth the face of rough casting.
7.2.3 Grinding
It is carried out while the work is rotating on the lathe. Filling is often restored
to when
Only a very small amount of stock is to be removed from a diameter.
For removing sharp corner on the work piece.
Filling is a hand operation. A clean, sharp, single cut mill file of 200 or 250 mm
length is held in the hand and the file flat is placed on the work near the left end
of the part to be filled. The file is held at a slight angle and not at right angles to
the work piece. For carrying out of the filling operation, the file is pressed
lightly on to the work piece and moved forward so that the work piece rotates
by 2 or 3 revolutions during the forward or cutting stroke of the file. Pressure on
the file is relieved during its return strokes but its movement overlaps the cut
made by the file during the cutting stroke. Generally long strokes are taken and
the file is cleaned frequently with the file card.
7.2.4 Grooving
Work pieces on which threads are to be cut close to a shoulder are usually
undercut or grooved to make threads cutting somewhat easier. Diameters which
are to be ground up to a shoulder are usually undercut so that the grinding wheel
will not leave a small radius in the corner. Grooving operation reduces the
diameter of the work piece at a narrow surface near the shoulder etc. The
grooving tool is fed into the revolving work piece at right angle to it using
cross-slide hand wheel.

38
7.2.5 Drilling

Drilling is the process of making holes in a work piece. Either the work piece
rotate or drill is stationary or vice-versa. When drilling on the lathe is being
done, generally the work piece rotates in the chuck and the drill held in the tail
stock is fed into the work piece by means of the hand wheel on the outer end of
the tail-stock assembly. It is possible to do drill by holding and rotating the drill
in the lathe spindle while keeping the work stationary, supported by a special
pad mounted in tail-stock quill. Since drill feed is by hand, care must be taken,
particularly in drilling small holes. Coolant should be withdrawn occasionally to
clear chips from the hole and to aid in getting coolant to cutting edges of the
drill.
7.2.6 Parting Off
Parting off operation separates the finished work piece from the bar from which
the work piece was machines. Partings off tools are ground to cut on the end
only as they are fed into the work piece. Since the tool is comparatively thin and
delicate and care must be taken when feeding it into the work otherwise it may
break. The finished work piece should be such that it is parted as close to the
head stock as possible.
7.3 ASSEMBLY
Bearing seats are assembled on base plates with the help of nuts. Bearings are
fitted in their respective seats. Bushes are also fitted at their respective
positions. Studs are tightened at their positions on lower base plate. Now output
shaft is fitted in bearing on lower base plate. Compound shaft is fitted in such a

facts about the Multi nut remover such as material required, designing of each
component, selection of manufacturing process, cost consideration, reliability
etc. and in the next semester based on this critical data. The fabrication of the

remover will be manufactured and checked for suitability, and then this
component will be assembled to make the tool Multi nut remover. Then it will
be installed and its working will be checked.

8.2 CONCLUSION

The static load analysis is performed. The fabrication of multi nut remover is
completed by milling, welding and fitting processes. The multi nut remover is
successfully manufactured and fully functional either tested manually using
lever or by using impact wrench. From the results of analyses and experiments,
the tool is possible to be improved and prototyped for mass production. For
future development and improvement of the multi nut remover, light and strong
material is expected to be available and applied.
