Gears are rotating mechanical devices with teeth that transmit torque and speed. Typically, mechanical gears are cylindrical with several sets of teeth around the body. When two or more gears working in sync, they are in a transmission state. Power transmission is what causes changes in speed or torque.
The advantages of gears
The gears are mechanically strong. Therefore, they can lift higher loads.
With the help of gearboxes, they allow changing the speed ratio.
They work well at low speeds.
Efficient power transmission.
They are ideal for the transmission of high torque values.
The gears only require daily lubrication, so there is little attention to maintenance.
They are very durable, so the gear system can last a long time.
Disadvantages of gears
Gears are not suitable for long-distance motion transmission.
They are not flexible.
Gears are noisy, especially at high speeds.
They are not suitable when the shafts are far apart.
Most gears are round, with teeth aligned around a cylinder. However, they also appear in conical, oval, square, and triangular forms. A circular gear system has a constant gear ratio for rotational speed and torque. Therefore, similar inputs produce the same speed and torque output. The opposite is present in non-circular gear types. Therefore, they can perform special irregular motion requirements, such as changing speed and reverse motion.
