    Gears mesh together to change the speed, torque, and direction of rotating axles. There are several types of gears including spur gears, which transmit torque between parallel shafts, helical gears which are less noisy than spur gears, and bevel gears which transmit motion between intersecting shafts. Worm gears are used to transmit motion between non-parallel shafts and provide high speed ratios. Belts and pulleys also change speed and torque but use friction between belts rather than direct contact, can cause slipping, rotate in the same direction, and have a gear ratio based on pulley diameters.

    Gears

    A gear is a wheel with teeth that mesh together with other gears. Gears change the speed torque (rot. force) direction of rotating axles

    Type of Gears
    Spurs Helical Bevel Worm Gears

    Spur Gears
    Are used in transmitting torque between parallel shafts.

    Helical Gears
    Are used in transmitting torques between parallel or non parallel shafts, they are not as noisy as spur gears

    Bevel Gears
    Are used to transmit rotary motion between intersecting shafts Teeth are formed on conical surfaces; the teeth could be straight or spiral.

    Worm Gears
    Are used for transmitting motion between non parallel and non transmitting shafts, Depending on the number of teeth engaged called single or double. Worm gear mostly used when speed ratio is quiet high, 3 or more

    Belts & Pulleys


    Belts & pulleys are related to gears. They change speed and torque, but with a few differences. Pulleys transfer their force by the friction of the belts, rather than direct contact with the teeth of gears. This can cause the belts to slip. Unlike gears, the pulleys rotate in the same direction. Belts can transfer force across long distances. Like gears, however, belts and pulleys do have a gear ratio. It is the ratio of the diameters of the pulleys.
