TYPES AND

APPLICATION OF
GEARS
Introduction
• The gears are a type of mechanical element whose teeth
are cut around a cylindrical or conical surface with the
same space.

• It is used for the rotation and transmission of force from


the drive shaft to the driven shaft when coupling a pair of
elements.

• The gears can be classified into


1. Spiral Gear
2. Cycloid and Tro-choidal Gears
Types Of Gears
• Helical Gear
• Spur Gear
• Bevel Gear
• Internal Gear
• Worm Gear
Helical Gear
• The helical gears are cylindrical gears that are used with
parallel shafts similar to the spur gears and have winding
teeth.

• They have a better teeth grip than spur gears, have


excellent low noise and can carry higher loads, which
makes them suitable for high speed applications.
Application of Helical Gear:-

1.Fertilizer industries
2.Printing industries
3.Earth moving industries
4.Rolling Mill
5.Power and Port Industries
6.Textile Industries
7.Plastic Industries
8.Automobile Gearboxes
9.Machine Tool Gearboxes

Helical Gear
Spur Gear
• A gear with a cylindrical pitch surface is called a spur
gear.

• Spur gears are cylindrical gears that belong to the group


of parallel shaft gears and have straight and straight
teeth parallel to the shaft.

• Spur gears are the most used gears that can be achieved
with high precision with relatively simple production
processes.
Application of Spur Gear:-
• Metal Cutting Machine
• Power Plant
• Marine Engines
• Mechanical Clock and Watches
• Fuel Pumps
• Washing Machine
• Gear Motors and Gear Pumps
• Rolling Mill
Spur Gear
• Rack and Pinion mechanism
Bevel Gear
• The bevel gears have a conical shape and are used to transmit
forces between two intersecting axes at a point (intersection
axis).

• The bevel gear has a cone on its step surface and its saw teeth
are cut along the cone.

• Bevel gears typically operate on shafts that are 90 to each other


.
Application of Bevel
Gear:-
• Printing Machine
• Agriculture
• Bottling
• Material Handling
• Steering
• Differential Drives
• Hand Drill Bevel Gear
Internal Gear
• The internal gears are teeth cut into a cylinder or
cone and paired with external gears.

• The internal gear are used for transmitting


power between two parallel shaft.
Application of Internal
Gear:-
Internal gears are often used in
applications involving planetary
gear drives and gear couplings. Internal Gear
Worm Gear
• The screw shape that is cut on the shaft is a worm, the
mesh gear is a helical gear, and the axes that do not
intersect are called worm gears.

• Worm gears are gears which are widely used for


transmitting power at high velocity ratios between non
intersecting shafts that are generally, but not necessarily
at right angles.
Worm Gear

• It is mostly used as a speed reducer, which


consists of worm and worm wheel or gear.

• The worm gear is similar to a helical gear with a


face curved to conform to the shape of the worm.
Application of Worm
Gear:-
• Gate Control Mechanism
• Hoisting Machines
• Automobile Steering Mechanism
• Lifts
• Conveyors
• Presses Worm Gear
• Speed Reducer
