The motion is tuned into the mechanical machines with the help of mechanical system installed in them. The couple is caused due to the tooth shaped component rotating with another tooth shape component, which together cause motion in the system. This feature which causes the system to work is known as gear. The main reason behind carrying out this procedure is to transform the mechanical energy in to some form of change in the speed and motion and helps in changing the direction of the machine too.
Another phenomenon used in this mechanism is ‘transmission’ in this numerous gears is working in synchronization. In this system, gears of different sizes and different types work together, the smaller gear would move more swiftly then the bigger gear if two gears work together of different sizes.
However, if more torque is required, bigger gears are fueled to generate more power in the mechanical system. This type gear system is also used in a mechanical pulley with two wheels. Moreover, there is no fear of any missing between these gears due to the fact that they are strongly bonded together due to their tooth shape body. Any mechanical system which needs some motion uses gear for transforming the mechanical energy into motion.
Types:
The types of gears available in the market are helical, spur, double helical, skew, spiral bevel, bevel, crown, hypoid, non-circular, worm, Epicyclic, Pinion and Rack, Harmonic gear, Planet and sun, magnetic gear and cage gear. Thus, the gear mechanism is used in every industry for every type of work.
Typical Characteristics:
It is considered mandatory for the gears to work efficiently when the work requirement is at peak because if they are stuck or not working then the whole procedure has to be forcefully stopped. The types of characteristics offered by gears are bearing strength while peak working hours, tensile strength to wear load, great grip and robust.
