Overview

Gears are wheels with toothed edges that mesh with one another to transmit motion and power. They help machines change speed, torque, and direction of movement. In robotics, gears are important for making parts move smoothly and accurately. Different gear types are used for different tasks, such as

Key Concepts

A gear is a wheel fixed

A gear is a wheel fixed in machines to make different parts move at different speeds or in different directions. The teeth of one gear mesh with anoth

Spur gears have straight teeth parallel

Spur gears have straight teeth parallel to the axis of rotation. They are the most commonly used type and are suitable for parallel shafts.

Helical gears have angled

Helical gears have angled, slightly curved teeth that form a helix shape. They run more smoothly and quietly than spur gears and can handle higher loa

Bevel gears have teeth cut on

Bevel gears have teeth cut on conical surfaces. They transmit motion between intersecting shafts and change the direction of rotation.

A worm gear system has

A worm gear system has a cylindrical worm and a toothed worm wheel. It gives high gear ratios, large speed reduction, and self-locking action.
