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 Gears
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

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.
