Tata, 2023 i  \nBasic Gear Design – M05-016  \nDescription: Gears are wheel-like machine elements that have teeth uniformly spaced around the outer surface. Gears can be a fraction of an inch in diameter to a hundred feet in diameter. Gears are used in pairs and are a very valuable design tool. They are used in everything from clocks to rockets and have been around for 3000 years.  \nGears are mounted on rotatable shafts and the teeth are made to mesh with a gear on another shaft. Gears deliver force (torque) and motion (rpm) from one part of a machine to another. A gearset with one gear twice size of the other will rotate at one-half the speed of the other and deliver twice the torque. Being able to control speed and torque by varying the number of teeth of one gear with respect to another makes gears a valuable design tool. An automobile transmission is an excellent example of how this principle is put to use to control vehicle motion.  \nTypes: There are a number of different types of gears. Spur gears are the most common and the easiest to manufacture. A spur gear has teeth that are uniformly spaced around the outer surface. The teeth are aligned in a direction that is parallel to the gear axis of rotation. A spur gear is designed to mesh with another spur gear on a parallel shaft.  \nThe profile of the contact surface of spur gear teeth is in the form of an involute curve. An involute curve is the path that the end of a string takes when it is being unwound from a cylinder. The shape is easiest to manufacture and is an efficient way to transmit power between two contacting surfaces because of the tendency to maximize rolling and minimize sliding. The efficiency of spur gears is in the high 90% range and approaches that of anti-friction bearings.  \nA spur gear is designed to mesh with another spur gear on a parallel shaft. Spur gears impose only radial (perpendicular) loads on shaft support bearings as opposed to other types of gears which impose radial and thrust (axial) loads on bearings. Axial loads on shafts require bearings that can support thrust as well as radial loads.  \nHelical gears are like spur gears except that the teeth run at an angle to the gear axis of rotation. This angle, called the helix angle, normally runs from 10° to 35° . Helical gears are stronger and run more quietly than comparable size spur gears. Helical gears are less efficient than spur gears and impose thrust as well as radial loads on shafts, making bearing selection more  \n© Robert P.

Double helical or “herringbone” gears can deliver high torque without imposing thrust loads on shafts.  \nBevel gears are like spur gears except that the basic configuration is conical shaped. This results in teeth being smaller at one end than at the other. Bevel gears are used to transmit motion between two shafts that are not parallel. Two shafts that are at a 90 degree angle are commonly connected by bevel gears. Bevel gears, like spur gears, operate at efficiencies in the high 90 percent range. Bevel gears are used in vehicles, aircraft, and machine tools.
