• Field of Application
• Importance
• Impact in the Industry
DEFINITION
• A GEAR TRAIN is a mechanical
system formed by mounting
gears on a frame so the teeth of
the gears engage.
• The GEAR TEETH are designed
to ensure the pitch circles of
engaging gears roll on each
other without slipping
 HISTORY
• The transmission of rotation between
contacting toothed wheels can be traced back
to the Antikythera mechanism of Greece and
the south-pointing chariot of China.

Scientist Georgius Agricola

HISTORY
• The implementation of the involute
tooth yielded a standard gear design
that provides a constant speed ratio.
• The involute gear profile was a
fundamental advance in machine
design, since unlike with other gear
systems, the tooth profile of an
involute gear depends only on the
number of teeth on the gear,
pressure angle, and pitch.
FIELD OF APPLICATION

• Conveyors • Lathe
 FIELD OF APPLICATION

• Aircraft • Automotives • Prime movers

FIELD OF APPLICATION

• Ship hulls • Injection molding machines

FIELD OF APPLICATION

• Transportation systems • Robotics

IMPORTANCE OF GEAR TRAINS
• Gear train is important in the industry
especially in automotive. The transmission of
an automotive uses a number of different sets
of gears that can be changed to allow a wide
range of vehicle speeds.
IMPACT OF GEAR TRAINS IN THE INDUSTRY

Gear trains with different designs play very

important roles in automobiles, helicopters,
wind turbines, and other modern industries.
Without vibration health monitoring to ensure
proper operation performance will degrade.
