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

Answer:

The driven gear will turn at speed of 600 rpm.

Explanation:

Rated speed of the motor =  3600 rpm

Ratio of the speed reducer = 6 : 1

Reduction = $\frac{6}{1}=6$

Speed of driver gear will be:

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

$=\frac{3600 rpm}{\frac{6}{1}}=600 rpm$

The driven gear will turn at speed of 600 rpm.
