In a machine tool the range of cutting speeds used is 10 m/min to 200 m/min and range of diameters of jobs used is 100 mm to 500 mm. The speed range ratio of the machine tool is

A. 100

B. 4

C. 1000

D. 400

Right Answer is: A

SOLUTION

Concept:

\(V=\frac{\pi DN}{1000}\)

where V = velocity in (m/min)

N = revolution per minute

D = diameter in mm

\(N=\frac{1000V}{\pi D}\)

\(N_{max}=\frac{1000V_{max}}{\pi D_{min}}\)

\(N_{min}=\frac{1000V_{min}}{\pi D_{max}}\)

Speed range ratio:

\(\frac{N_{max}}{N_{min}}=\frac{V_{max}}{V_{min}}\times\frac{D_{max}}{D_{min}}\)

Calculation:

Given:

Vmin = 10 m/min, Vmax = 200 m/min, Dmin = 100 mm and Dmax = 500 mm.

Speed range ratio \(= \frac{{{V_{max}} \;\times\; {D_{max}}}}{{{V_{min}} \;\times\; {D_{min}}}} = \frac{{200\; \times\; 500}}{{10 \;\times\; 100}} = 100\)
