Gears

Gears are used to transfer motion and power from one moving parts to another. Two or more gears working in tandem are called a transmission and can produce a mechanical advantage through a gear ratio and thus may be considered a simple machine. The most common situation is for a gear to mesh with another gear, however a gear can also mesh a non-rotating toothed part, called a rack, thereby producing translation instead of rotation.

There are generally four different purposes for gears:

  • To reverse the direction of rotation
  • To increase or decrease the speed of rotation
  • To move rotational motion to a different axis
  • To keep the rotation of two axis synchronized

There are many different types of gears, including:

  • Helical
  • Spur
  • Bevel
  • Pinion
  • Worm
  • Hypoid
