Applications of Gears
• Control gears – long life, low noise, precision gears
• Aerospace gears – light weight, moderate to high load
• Power transmission – long life, high load and speed
• Appliance gears – long life, low noise & cost, low to moderate load
• Toys and Small Mechanisms – small, low load, low cost

Types of Gears
Spur gears – tooth profile is parallel to the axis of rotation, transmits motion between parallel shafts.
Pinion (small gear)
Gear (large gear)
Internal gears
– teeth are inclined to the axis of rotation, the angle provides more gradual engagement of the teeth during meshing, transmits motion between parallel shafts.
Helical gears
Mechanical Engineering Dept. 5
Types of Gears
Bevel gears – teeth are formed on a conical surface, used to transfer motion between non-parallel and intersecting shafts.
Straight bevel gear
Spiral bevel gear
Mechanical Engineering Dept. 6
Types of Gears
Worm gear sets – consists of a helical gear and a power screw (worm), used to transfer motion between non-parallel and non-intersecting shafts.
Rack and Pinion sets – a special case of spur gears with the gear having an infinitely large diameter, the teeth are laid flat.

Useful Relations
P = N / d
P = diametral pitch, teeth per inch
N = number of teeth
d = pitch diameter (gear diameter)
m (module, mm) = d / N
Metric system
p (circular pitch) = πd / N
Pp = π

Standard Tooth SpecificationsPressure angle
Two mating gears must have the same diametral pitch, P, and pressure angle, φ.

Planetary (or Epicyclic) Gears
• Gears whose centers can move
• Used to achieve large speed reductions in compact space
• Can achieve different reduction ratios by holding different combinations of gears fixed
• Used in automatic transmissions of cars
