SPUR GEAR

 What is purpose of spur gear?

Spur gears are the most common type of gears. They have straight teeth, and are
mounted on parallel shafts. Sometimes, many spur gears are used at once to
create very large gear reductions.

 Which gear is most likely to e used as spur gear?

Spur gears are the most common type of gear, and are also the simplest. They
have straight teeth that are produced parallel to the axis of the gear. Since they
have the simplest design, they are the easiest to design and manufacture, and are
therefore the most economical type of gear.

 How is spur gear calculated?

The ratio of a given pair of spur gears is calculated by dividing the number of
teeth on the driven gear, by the number of teeth on the drive gear.

 Why spur gear is used for high speed transmission?

The many advantages of spur gears ensure that these gears are used in a wide
variety of high speed and high load applications, in all types of gear trains and
across a wide range of velocity ratios. They are best suited to multiply the torque,
or power, of an object, or to increase/decrease the speed of an object.

 Where is spur gear used?

Spur gears are used to this effect in washing machines, blenders, clothes dryers,
construction equipment, fuel pumps and mills. In power stations, so-called 'trains'
of spur gears are used to convert a form of energy, such as wind or hydroelectric
power, into electrical energy.

 RACK AND PINION

 What are examples of rack and pinion?

Rack and Pinion Gears. Rack and pinion gears are used to convert rotation into
linear motion. A perfect example of this is the steering system on many cars. The
steering wheel rotates a gear which engages the rack.

 How do you calculate rack and pinion gear ratio?

For two standard round gears, the gear ratio is calculated by counting the number
of teeth on each gear and dividing the number of teeth on the driver gear by the
number of teeth on the driven gear. For example, a gear with 25 teeth drives a
gear with 75 teeth.

 Where does rack and pinion leak from?

What causes a rack and pinion system with power steering to leak? Over time,
components in the rack and pinion steering system can start to wear out as they
are frequently used when driving and steering. This can result in loose fittings.

 Why rack and pinion steering?

Rack-and-pinion steering is quickly becoming the most common type of steering
on cars, small trucks and SUVs. It is actually a pretty simple mechanism. A rack-
and-pinion gearset is enclosed in a metal tube, with each end of the rack
protruding from the tube. A rod, called a tie rod, connects to each end of the rack.
The pinion gear is attached to the steering shaft. When you turn the steering
wheel, the gear spins, moving the rack. The tie rod at each end of the rack
connects to the steering arm on the spindle.

 When rack and pinion go bad?

One of the most common symptoms of a bad power steering rack is that the
steering feels loose and has excessive play. When the power steering rack and
pinion wear out you may notice other symptoms such as: Loose steering. Steering
wheel shakes.
