  2. Gear train - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_train

    For a pair of meshing gears, the angular speed ratio, also known as the gear ratio, can be computed from the ratio of the pitch radii or the ratio of the number of teeth on each gear. Define the angular speed ratio R AB of two meshed gears A and B as the ratio of the magnitude of their respective angular velocities:

  3. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    The speed ratio for a pair of meshing gears can be computed from ratio of the radii of the pitch circles and the ratio of the number of teeth on each gear, its gear ratio. Two meshing gears transmit rotational motion. The velocity v of the point of contact on the pitch circles is the same on both gears, and is given by

  4. Mechanical calculator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_calculator

    The great majority of basic calculator mechanisms move the accumulator by starting, then moving at a constant speed, and stopping. In particular, stopping is critical, because to obtain fast operation, the accumulator needs to move quickly. Variants of Geneva drives typically block overshoot (which, of course, would create wrong results).

  5. Crawl ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawl_ratio

    Crawl ratio is a term used in the automotive world to describe the highest gear ratio that a vehicle is capable of. Note that gear ratio, also known as speed ratio, of a gear train is defined as the ratio of the angular velocity of the input gear to the angular velocity of the output gear, and thus a higher gear ratio implies a larger speed reduction, i.e. the input speed is reduced more at ...

  6. Gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear

    Worm-and-gear sets are a simple and compact way to achieve a high torque, low speed gear ratio. For example, helical gears are normally limited to gear ratios of less than 10:1 while worm-and-gear sets vary from 10:1 to 500:1. [45] A disadvantage is the potential for considerable sliding action, leading to low efficiency. [46]

  7. Virtual work - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_work

    The size of the gears and the sequence in which they engage define the ratio of the angular velocity ω A of the input gear to the angular velocity ω B of the output gear, known as the speed ratio, or gear ratio, of the gear train. Let R be the speed ratio, then =. The input torque T A acting on the input gear G A is transformed by the gear ...

  8. Manual transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission

    This means the output shaft rotates at the same speed as the selected gear, thus determining the gear ratio of the transmission. [16] The dog clutch is a sliding selector mechanism that sits around the output shaft. It has teeth to fit into the splines on the shaft, forcing that shaft to rotate at the same speed as the gear hub. However, the ...

  9. Involute gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Involute_gear

    The involute gear profile, sometimes credited to Leonhard Euler, [1] was a fundamental advance in machine design, since unlike with other gear systems, the tooth profile of an involute gear depends only on the number of teeth on the gear, pressure angle, and pitch. That is, a gear's profile does not depend on the gear it mates with.
