EXPERIMENT OUTCOMES:
Upon completion of this laboratory, students should be able to:
1. Produce gear maintenance procedure.
2. Assemble and disassemble a few types of gears as a practical. As an examples apparatus
can be use is assembly spur gear exercise or assembly spur wheel / worm gear station.
THEORY:
A gear is a rotating machine part having cut teeth, or cogs, which mesh with another toothed
part in order to transmit torque. Two or more gears working in tandem are called a transmission
and can produce a mechanical advantage through a gear ratio and thus may be considered a simple
machine. Geared devices can change the speed, magnitude, and direction of a power source. The
most common situation is for a gear to mesh with another gear, however a gear can also mesh a
non-rotating toothed part, called a rack, thereby producing translation instead of rotation.

The gears in a transmission are analogous to the wheels in a pulley. An advantage of gears is
that the teeth of a gear prevent slipping. When two gears of unequal number of teeth are combined
a mechanical advantage is produced, with both the rotational speeds and the torques of the two
gears differing in a simple relationship.
In transmissions which offer multiple gear ratios, such as bicycles and cars, the term gear, as in
first gear, refers to a gear ratio rather than an actual physical gear. The term is used to describe
similar devices even when gear ratio is continuous rather than discrete, or when the device does
not actually contain any gears, as in a continuously variable transmission.
SAFETY PRECAUTION:
It is the individual’ s responsibility to practice the following general safety guidelines at all times
and keep your workspace reasonably tidy.
1. Always know the hazards associated with the equipment/materials that are being utilized in
the workshop.
2. Always wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment.
3. Confine long hair and loose clothing. Do not wear high-heeled shoes, open-toed shoes, sandals
or shoes made of woven material.
4. Be familiar with the location of emergency equipment such as fire alarm and fire extinguisher.
Know the appropriate emergency response procedures.

Maintenance of gear drives involves proper selection , proper installation , proper loading of
the unit , proper lubrication and periodic inspection . Metalic gears have tremendous service
life when properlyused and cared for.
