GEAR

Types of Gear

Gear

Spur Gear Helical Gear Herringbone Gear Bevel Gear Worm Gear

Spur Gear

– Used to transmit rotary between parallel shafts.

Helical Gear

– Used to transmit rotary motion between parallel or nonparallel shaft.

Herringbone Gear

– A Herringbone Gear consists basically of two rows of helical teeth cut into one gear.

– The axial thrust forces are cancelled by direct subtraction.

– Herringbone Gears are used for heavy and continuous load applications.

Bevel Gear

– Used to transmit rotary motion between intersecting shafts.

Worm Gear

– Used to transmit rotary motion between nonparallel nonintersecting shafts.

Gear Trains

Introduction

Two or more gears are made to mesh with each

other to transmit power from one shaft to another.

Such a combination is called gear train or train of

toothed wheels.

Gear Trains

Simple gear train

Compound gear train

Reverted gear train

Epicyclic gear train

Types of Gear Trains

Simple Gear Train

When there is only one gear on each shaft it is known as simple gear train. The gears are represented by their pitch circles.

Compound gear train

When there are more than one gear on a shaft,it is called a compound

train of gear.

Reverted Gear Train

When the axes of the first gear (i.e. first driver) and the last gear (i.e. last driven or follower) are co-axial,then the gear train is known as reverted gear train.

Epicyclic Gear Train

the axes of the shafts, over which the gears are mounted, may move relative to a fixed axis.

If the motion is called epicyclic and the gear trains arranged in such a manner that one or more of their members move upon and around another member are known as epicyclic gear trains

Velocity Ratioz of Epicyclic Gear Train

The following two methods may be used for finding out the velocity ratio of an epicyclic gear train.

1. Tabular method, and

2. Algebraic method.
