Gears
are toothed wheels that transfer the rotational motion from one shaft to
another and ascertain the speed, torque, and direction of rotation of machine
components. Normally gears are classified into two major parts. The first one
connects with the parallel shafts, and the other type of gears connects to the
nonparallel shafts.
What is the use of gears and shafts?
Gears
can help as an efficient means to change the direction of motion of one shaft.
Gears can also change the rotational speed and can also be used to change the
axis on which rotary motion is occurring on. Gear size usually depends on the
shaft on which it is needed to be mounted and the also depends on the desired
gear ratio.
Because
of their ability to transfer the motion from one shaft to another, gears and shafts both have found their place in almost all the machinery and all of
the automobiles. In Automobiles gears and shafts has become one of the
important parts of the vehicles. As gears and shafts is the part of the
transmission system of a vehicle.
Depends
on its use there are several types of gears some of them are mentioned below.
•
Spur Gear: These are
the most common types of gear. Use to transfer the energy from one shaft to
another that are placed parallel to each other.
Bevel Gears: Bevel gears are used at
the place where both the shafts are on the different axis, and the motion is
required to transmit on different axishttp://www.avtec.in/avtec-engine-transmission-components.php
