Question

if the motor in a geared appliance has a rated speed of 3600 rpm and a gear ratio of 6 to 1 the driven gear will turn at speed of

Answer 1

3600/6/1= 600rpm. Higher torque, lower speed

Answer 2

The driven gear will turn at speed of 600 rpm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rated speed of the motor = 3600 rpm

Ratio of the speed reducer = 6 : 1

Reduction =
`(6)/(1)=6`

Speed of driver gear will be:

`=\frac{\text{RPM of motor}}{Reduction}`

`=(3600 rpm)/((6)/(1))=600 rpm`

The driven gear will turn at speed of 600 rpm.
