1. GEARS Introduction to Engineering and Technology Concepts
2. GEARS A wheel with a number of teeth wrapped around the circumference.
When two gears are meshed together, the rotation of driver and follower are always opposite.
3. GEARS vs. PULLEYS Gears do not “creep” or “slip”
Gears change direction of motion
Mechanical advantage is calculated by counting number of teeth
4. GEARS Common uses include:
Transmit motion
Change direction of motion
Magnify output speed
Magnify output force
5. GEAR TYPES Spur Gears
