GEAR…..
► Power transmission is the movement of energy
from its place of generation to a location
where it is applied to performing useful work
► A gear is a component within a transmission
device that transmits rotational force to
another gear or device
TYPES OF GEARS
1. According to the position of axes of the
shafts.
a. Parallel
1.Spur Gear
2.Helical Gear
3.Rack and Pinion
b. Intersecting
Bevel Gear
c. Non-intersecting and Non-parallel
worm and worm gears
SPUR GEAR
► Teeth is parallel to axis
of rotation
► Transmit power from
one shaft to another
parallel shaft
► Used in Electric
screwdriver, oscillating
sprinkler, windup alarm
clock, washing machine
and clothes dryer
External and Internal spur Gear…
Helical Gear
► The teeth on helical gears are cut at an angle
to the face of the gear
► This gradual engagement makes helical gears
operate much more smoothly and quietly than
spur gears
► One interesting thing about helical gears is
that if the angles of the gear teeth are correct,
they can be mounted on perpendicular shafts,
adjusting the rotation angle by 90 degrees
Helical Gear…
Rack and pinion
► Rack and pinion gears
are used to convert
rotation (From the
pinion) into linear
motion (of the rack)
► A perfect example of
this is the steering
system on many cars
Bevel gears
► Bevel gears are useful when the direction of a shaft's
rotation needs to be changed
► They are usually mounted on shafts that are 90
degrees apart, but can be designed to work at other
angles as well
► The teeth on bevel gears can be straight, spiral or
hypoid
► locomotives, marine applications, automobiles,
printing presses, cooling towers, power plants, steel
plants, railway track inspection machines, etc.

d = Diameter of the wheel
N =Speed of the wheel
ω = Angular speed
2 N 2 d1
1 N 1 d 2
velocity ratio (n) =
GEAR TRAINS
► A gear train is two or more gear working
together by meshing their teeth and turning
each other in a system to generate power and
speed
► It reduces speed and increases torque
► Electric motors are used with the gear systems
to reduce the speed and increase the torque
Types of Gear Trains
► Simple gear train
► Compound gear train
► Planetary gear train
Simple Gear Train
► The most common of the gear train is the gear pair
connecting parallel shafts. The teeth of this type can
be spur, helical or herringbone.
► Only one gear may rotate about a single axis
Simple Gear Train
Compound Gear Train
► For large velocities,
compound
arrangement is
preferred
► Two or more gears
may rotate about a
single axis
Planetary Gear Train (Epicyclic Gear Train)
Planetary Gear Train…
► In this train, the blue gear has six times the diameter of
the yellow gear
► The size of the red gear is not important because it is
just there to reverse the direction of rotation
► In this gear system, the yellow gear (the sun) engages
all three red gears (the planets) simultaneously
► All three are attached to a plate (the planet carrier), and
they engage the inside of the blue gear (the ring) instead
of the outside.
Planetary Gear Train…
► Because there are three red gears instead of one,
this gear train is extremely rugged.
► planetary gear sets is that they can produce
different gear ratios depending on which gear
you use as the input, which gear you use as the
output, and which one you hold still.
Planetary Gear Train…
► They have higher gear ratios.
► They are popular for automatic transmissions in
automobiles.
► They are also used in bicycles for controlling
power of pedaling automatically or manually.
► They are also used for power train between
internal combustion engine and an electric motor
