• Gears are found in just about everything that has spinning (rotating) parts. 

• For example, car engines and transmissionscontain lots of gears. 

• If you ever open up a VCR and look inside, you 

Gears

will see it is full of gears. 

• Electricity meter in the house, contains 10 or 15 gears. 

• Gears are everywhere where there are enginesand motors producing rotational motion.

Gears are generally used for one of four different reasons: 

• To reverse the direction of rotation 

• To increase or decrease the speed of rotation 

• To move rotational motion to a different axis 

• To keep the rotation of two axis synchronized 

Ordinary Gear Trains

Gear trains consist of two or more gears for the purpose of transmitting motion from one axis to another. Ordinary gear trains have axes, relative to the frame for all gears comprisingrelative to the frame, for all gears comprising the train.

Thus a gear train is a set or system of gearsarranged to transfer rotational torque from one part of a mechanical system to another.

Gear trains consists of:

• Driving gears ‐ attached to the input shaft 

• Driven gears/Motor gears ‐ attached to the output shaft 

dl i d b h d i i• Idler gears ‐ interposed between the driving and driven gear in order to maintain the direction of the output shaft the same as the input shaft or to increase the distance between the drive and driven gears
