GEAR
Gears are toothed, cylindrical wheels used for
transmitting motion and power from one rotating
shaft to another. The teeth of a driving gear mesh
accurately in the spaces between teeth on the
driven gear. The driving teeth push on the driven
teeth, exerting a force perpendicular to the radius
of the gear. Thus, a torque is transmitted, and
because the gear is rotating, power is also
transmitted.
 TYPES OF GEAR
The following are the different types of gears:
i) Internal Gear:
These pinion wheels are used in conjunction with outer cogwheels and have
teeth that are carved into portions of cylinders and cones. These are used in
planetary gear drives and gear-type connections for shafts. This type of gear has
one drawback: a variable number of interior and outside gears that must be
managed due to impedances like involute and trochoid.

ii)Worm Gear:
Worms and worm wheels are the two parts of this kind of gear. The worm
is a cut shaft with a screw-like form, and the worm wheel is the mating gear. As
a result of the usage of various materials, there is less friction when the
surfaces glide across one another and come into contact. The worm is
constructed of hard material, whereas the worm wheel is made of soft material.
iii) Spur Gear:
Spur gears are cylindrical gears with a tooth line that is
straight and parallel to the shaft and are a subset of the parallel
shaft gear group. The most popular gears are spur gears because
they have a high degree of precision and can be produced with ease.
They have the feature of being free of axial loads (thrust load). The
bigger of the two that meshes are referred to as the gear, and the
smaller as the pinion

iv) Helical Gear:

Similar to spur gears, helical gears are cylindrical gears with
winding tooth lines that are utilised with parallel shafts. They are useful
for highspeed applications because they offer greater silence, better tooth
meshing than spur gears, and can transfer heavier weights. Thrust
bearingsare required when employing helical gears because they produce
thrust force in the axial direction. Since helical gears have a right-hand
and a left-hand twist, a meshing pair requires gears with the opposite
hand.

v) Bevel Gear:
Bevel gears look like cones and are used to transfer force between
two shafts that cross at a single point (intersecting shafts). A cone serves
as the pitch surface of a bevel gear, and the teeth are cut along the cone.
Linear bevel gears, helical bevel gears, mitre gears, angled bevel gears,
crown gears, and hypoid gears are among the several types of bevel gears
 Advantages and Disadvantages of Gears:
Advantages:
• The following are the advantages and disadvantages of gears:
• Large velocity ratios may be achieved with the least amount of area by employing gear trains .
• Higher weights may be lifted since gears have strong mechanical properties.
• Large high frequency (H.F.) is transmitted through gears.
• They are utilised to convey motion over short shaft centres.
• They are employed for the transfer of torque and for significant speed decreases.
• Less maintenance is necessary because gears merely need to be lubricated.
• We can transfer motion across intersecting shafts that are not parallel by using gear systems.
• Since they are employed for the positive drive, the velocity ratio does not change

Disadvantages:
• They are not appropriate at high speeds.
• They are inadequate for long-distance transmission of motion.
• In the event of high loading, certain parts of the machine may sustain irreparable damage due to the
engagement of toothed gear wheels.
• They lack adaptability.The operating gear makes a noise.
