What is a gear?
gear pair
ISO 1122-1:1998 mechanism consisting of two gears rotatable
around axes of which relative positions are
fixed and one gear turns the other by the
toothed gear action of teeth successively in contact
toothed member designed to transmit motion to, or
receive motion from, another toothed member, by
means of successively engaging teeth
