Reverted Gear Train
A reverted gear train is very similar to a compound gear train. They are both used when there is only a small space between the input and output shafts and…
Planetary Or Epicyclic Gear Train
Like a compound gear train, planetary trains are used when a large change in speed or power is needed across a small distance. There are four different ways that a…
Simple & Compound Gear Train
Simple Gear Train- The simple gear train is used where there is a large distance to be covered between the input shaft and the output shaft. Each gear in a…
Gear Train
A gear train is formed by mounting gears on a frame so that the teeth of the gears engage. Gear teeth are designed to ensure the pitch circles of engaging gears roll…
How Does Gear Ratio Affects Torque
First....What is torque? Torque is a twisting force- (it doesn't do any 'work' itself- it is simple an application of energy). Work (or 'stuff') happens, when torque is applied and…
How Does a Gear Ratio Affect Speed?
The gear ratio tells us how fast one gear is rotating when compared to another. If our input gear (10 teeth) is rotating at 5 rpms, and it is connected…
Gear Ratio
The gear ratio of a gear train is the ratio of the angular velocity of the input gear to the angular velocity of the output gear, also known as the speed ratio…
Use of Gear Advantage of Teeth on Gear
Use of 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…
Terminology of Spur Gear
● Pitch surface: The surface of the imaginary rolling cylinder (cone, etc.) that the toothed gear may be considered to replace. ● Pitch circle: A right section of the pitch surface. ● Addendum circle: A circle…
Gear Introduction
A gear also known as "gear wheel" is a rotating machine part having cut teeth, or cogs, which mesh with another toothed part in order to transmit torque. Two or…
