What is Gear Reduction Drive?
What is Gear Reduction? Gear Reduction or Reduction drives reduce the speed and increase torque at the output shaft. In Reduction Drive, the number of teeth on the input shaft is less than the teeth on the output shaft. ...
Gear Train : Gear Ratio, Torque and Speed Calculations
A Gear train consists of two or more gears in series. Its application is to increase or decrease the speed or torque of the output shaft. We use Gear Ratio to calculate the speed and torque of the output gear or shaft when the input shaft or gea ...
Types of Gears and their Applications
Gears are mechanisms to transfer motion from one shaft to another. Different types of gears have different applications. For Example, spur gears application is to motion transfer between parallel shafts, whereas Rack and Pinion gears convert rotational mo ...
Gear Terminology: Basics of Gear
A Gear application is to transfer power from one shaft to another shaft at the same or different speeds. This article covers gear terminology or basic terms used in gears and gear calculations. We suggest you also read this article on types of gears and t ...
