Question 1
The coefficient of efficiencies between different transmission elements are not usually at the same
value. Table 1 below, shows the efficiencies of different transmission elements. Analyze table 1
and answer the questions below.
Table 1: Coefficient of Efficiencies between the transmission elements

Belt Drive with flat belt
0.98
Belt drive with V-Belt
0.96
Spur Gear drive
Helical Gear Drive
0.98
0.97
Bevel Gear Drive
0.96
Ball or Roller Bearing

0.9
a) How are these coefficient values are calculated?
b) Base on your analysis, why the value of Belt Drive with V-Belt is having a lower coefficient
compared to flat belt?
c) Define the highest coefficient of efficiency and state one (1) reason of why.
