A Brief Discussion on the Gears and Shafts

Gears and shafts are two significant components that take a vital part in the driving of a car. They are also a part of the power transmission in the engine. They take necessary power from the engine and get directed to take turns and increasing and decreasing the speed.

ü  The Types in these components

There are different types in the gears and shafts.

Ø  Spur gear
This is the most commonly used gear. Its teeth go parallel with the shafts.

Ø  Helical gear
Its teeth are twisted and a bit slanting than the prior one.


Ø  Bevel gear
It has two axis and they intersect the shafts and thus possess both the sides of the shafts. The teeth are properly shaped and made appropriate for the usage.

Ø  Worm gear
A worm-like particle drives the gear. That is why; it is named like this. The teeth of this gears and shafts are cut at a particular angle to work properly.

In case of shafts, there are mainly two kinds of shafts.
§  Counter shafts and line shafts, which are known as transmission shaft.
§  Crankshaft, which is known as machine shaft.

In a vehicle, this component is used to determine the turns of the vehicles in the intended direction.
