Gear Types
A gear is a toothed wheel which is used to transmit power and motion between machine parts.
Gears are used in many applications like automobile engines, household appliances, industrial machine tools.
When two gears of different sizes are meshed , the larger is called gear while the smaller is pinion.
A gear train is combination of two or more gears to change the speed or direction of motion of shaft systems.

Herringbone Gear
Hypoid Gears
Planetary Gears
Gear Meshing
Meshing of two spur gears with a center distance is shown below.
The line of action (also known as pressure line) is a line drawn
tangent to the base circle of pinion and gear.
When two gear teeth are in contact, the kinematic principle of
gearing is demonstrated: the angular velocity ratio of the meshing
gears is constant along the line of action.
The pressure angle is the angle between the tangent to the pitch
circles and the line of action.

Gear Bodies
There are various types of gear bodies used
in industry. They are preferred according to
their purpose of use (such as light gears by
removing excessive material, strengthened
gear bodies using stiffeners, etc.)
