What is Gear Reduction? Gear Reduction or Reduction drives are used to reduce the speed and increase torque at the output shaft. In Reduction Drive, the number of teeth on the input shaft are less than the number of teeth on the output shaft. ...
Gear Train : Gear Ratio, Torque and Speed Calculations
A Gear train consist of two or more number of gears in series. It is used to increase or decrease the speed or torque of the output shaft. The term Gear Ratio is used to calculate speed and torque of output gear when torque is applied to the input gear. ...
Types of Gears and their Applications
Gears are mechanisms that are used to transfer motion from one shaft to another. Different types of gears have different applications. For Example, spur gears are used to transfer motion between parallel shafts. Whereas Rack and Pinion gears are used to c ...
Gear Terminology : Basics of Gear
Gears are used to transfer power from shaft to another shaft at the same or different speeds. In this article we will discuss gear terminology or basic terms used in gears and gear calculations. We need to understand these terms before working on gears. W ...
