Introduction of GEAR
A gear is a wheel with teeth that mesh together with other gear
wheel or cylinder, that meshes with another toothed part to transmit motion or to change speed or direction. It is used in groups of two or more that known as GEAR TRAIN. Gear train are arranged so that their teeth closely interlock or mesh. the size of teeth on meshing gears must be the same to gain equal strength. Spacing of the teeth are same on each gear.
GEAR SCHEMATIC
TYPE of GEAR
SPUR GEAR It can change the rotation speed Change torque Change direction
- cannot be used when a direction change between the two shafts is required.
Helical gear - Similar to spur gears except the teeth are at an angle to the shaft, rather than parallel to it as in a spur gear. - The teeth are longer than teeth on a spur gear of equivalent pitch diameter. - The longer the teeth cause the helical gears to have :1. The tooth strength is greater because the teeth are longer. 2. Greater surface contact on the teeth
- can be used on non parallel and even perpendicular shaft. - can carry high loads than can Spur Gears do.
Disadvantages
- expensive to manufacture. - friction between the mesh teeth is higher and needs to be lubricant by special lubricants.
BEVEL GEAR
- Is a spur gears that mesh at 90 degree angle - Only mesh with them-selves.
- Limited availability. - cannot be used for parallel shaft. - can become noisy at high speeds
WORM GEAR
- GEARS RESEMBLE SCREWS. --- ACHIEVE A HIGH TORQUE, LOW SPEED GEAR RATIO
-Worm-and-gear sets are a simple and compact way to achieve a high torque, low speed gear ratio
Disadvantages
RACK AND PINION A RACK IS A TOOTHED BAR OR ROD THAT CAN BE THOUGHT OF AS A SECTOR GEAR WITH AN INFINITELY LARGE RADIUS OF CURVATURE
