Gears
 Gears are “toothy” wheels that mesh
together. The interlocked teeth push on
each other as they rotate around.
 The meshed gears turn each other in
opposite directions.

Spur Gears
 Teeth parallel to the
axis of rotation
 Power transmission
is between parallel
shafts
 No axial thrust
 Good for low to
medium level power
transmission

November 4, 2021 5
Helical Gears
 Teeth inclined to
the axis of rotation
 Power transmission
is between parallel
shafts or included
 axial thrust
 Good for medium to
high level power
transmission

Herringbone Gears
 Teeth inclined to
the axis of rotation
 Power transmission
is between parallel
shafts
 No axial thrust
 Good for high level
power transmission

November 4, 2021 7
Bevel Gears
 Power transmission is between
perpendicular shafts
