    A crossed helical gear is a gear that operate on non-intersecting, non-parallel axes. The term crossed helical gears has superseded the term spiral gears. There is theoretically point contact between the teeth at any instant. They have teeth of the same or different helix angles, of the same or opposite hand.

  3. Gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear

    Two intermeshing spur gears rotating at different velocity due to differing gear ratio. A gear [1] [2] or gearwheel [3] [4] [5] is a rotating machine part typically used to transmit rotational motion and/or torque by means of a series of teeth that engage with compatible teeth of another gear or other part.

  4. Non-circular gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-circular_gear

    Non-circular gear example Another non-circular gear. A non-circular gear (NCG) is a special gear design with special characteristics and purpose. While a regular gear is optimized to transmit torque to another engaged member with minimum noise and wear and with maximum efficiency, a non-circular gear's main objective might be ratio variations, axle displacement oscillations and more.

  5. 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.

  6. Spur gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spur_gear

    Spur gears or straight-cut gears are the simplest type of gear. They consist of a cylinder or disk with teeth projecting radially. They consist of a cylinder or disk with teeth projecting radially. Viewing the gear at 90 degrees from the shaft length (side on) the tooth faces are straight and aligned parallel to the axis of rotation .

  7. Gear train - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_train

    Since the idler gear I contacts directly both the smaller gear A and the larger gear B, it can be removed from the calculation, also giving a ratio of ⁠ 42 / 13 ⁠ ≈ 3.23. The idler gear serves to make both the drive gear and the driven gear rotate in the same direction, but confers no mechanical advantage.

  8. Bevel gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bevel_gear

    Bevel gears are gears where the axes of the two shafts intersect and the tooth-bearing faces of the gears themselves are conically shaped. Bevel gears are most often mounted on shafts that are 90 degrees apart, but can be designed to work at other angles as well. [1] The pitch surface of bevel gears is a cone, known as a pitch cone. Bevel gears ...

  9. Lists of physics equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_physics_equations

    In physics, there are equations in every field to relate physical quantities to each other and perform calculations. Entire handbooks of equations can only summarize most of the full subject, else are highly specialized within a certain field. Physics is derived of formulae only.
