    Gears

    Uploaded by

    Jefferson Barrios
    Gears and bearings are components that allow for the transfer of motion or force. Gears mesh together and rotate in opposite directions to transfer motion. A gear train uses multiple connected gears to transfer rotational motion. Bearings allow for reduced friction rotation between contacting surfaces using rolling or sliding contact.

    Gears and

    Bearings
    Gears
    A gear is a wheel with teeth on its outer edge.
    The teeth of one gear mesh (or engage) with the teeth of another.

     Two meshed gears always


    rotate in opposite directions.

    Simple Gear Train
    • Multiple gears can be connected together to form a gear train.

    Each shaft carries only


    one gear wheel.

    Intermediate gears are


    known as Idler Gears.

    Compound Gear Train
    If two gear wheels are mounted
    on a common shaft then it’s a
    Compound Gear train.

    Gear Ratio
     Generally, the Gear Ratio is
    calculated by counting the teeth of
    the two gears, and applying the
    following formula:

    Gear ratio = Number of teeth on driven gear


    Number of teeth on driver gear
    Gears
    Gear Ratio - Calculation

    A 100 tooth gear drives a 25


    tooth gear. Calculate the gear
    ratio for the meshing teeth.

    Gear ratio = Number of teeth on driven gear


    Number of teeth on driver gear

    Gear ratio = driven 25 = 1


    driver 100 4
    This is written as 1:4
    Gears
    Gear Speed :- Calculation
    A motor gear has 28 teeth
    and revolves at 100 rev/min.
    The driven gear has 10 teeth.
    What is its rotational speed?
    28 teeth,
    driver
    10 teeth,
    driven

    Speed of driven gear = Number of teeth on driver gear x 100


    Number of teeth on driven gear

    Speed of driven gear = driver = 28 x 100 = 280 rev/min

    Rack and Pinion

     The rack and pinion


    gear is used to convert
    between rotary and
    linear motion.

    Bevel gears
     Bevel gears are used to transfer drive through an
    angle of 90o.

    Bevel Gears
    Bearings

     The concept behind a bearing is very


    simple: Things roll better than they slide.
    The wheels on your car are like big
    bearings. If you had something like skis
    instead of wheels, your car would be a lot
    more difficult to push down the road
