GEAR..
Power transmission is the movement of energy
from its place of generation to a location
where it is applied to performing useful work
A gear is a component within a transmission
device that transmits rotational force to
another gear or device
TYPES OF GEARS
1. According to the position of axes of the shafts.
a. Parallel
1.Spur Gear
2.Helical Gear
3.Rack and Pinion
b. Intersecting
Bevel Gear
c. Non-intersecting and Non-parallel
worm and worm gears
Bevel Gears
A bevel gear is shaped like a
right circular cone with most
of its tip cut off.
When two bevel gears mesh,
their imaginary vertices must
occupy the same point.
Their shaft axes also intersect
at this point, forming an
arbitrary non-straight angle
between the shafts.
Bevel Gears
Bevel gears are primarily
used to transfer power
between intersecting
shafts, where the axis of
rotation of two shafts are
at 90 degrees to each
other.
Gear ratio
The gear ratio can be thought as a multiplier on
torque and a divider on speed or vise versa
Gear Ratio
The gear ratio is the relationship between the
number of teeth on two gears that are meshed
To calculate the gear ratio, you count the
number of teeth on the driven gear, divide that
number by the number of teeth on the driving
gear
Gear ratio =
Gear Ratio
The gear ratio of a bevel gear system is
calculated in the same way as for a simple
gear train.

Application
Standard bevel gears
are mainly used in low
speed (less than 500
rpm) applications. At
high speeds they
become noisy. They
are typically used in
applications such as
hand drills.
Applications
Spiral bevel gears are
typically used for high
speed (greater than 500
rpm) and performance
applications, where low
noise and vibration levels
are important. They are
typically used in
transmission systems.
Applications
Hypoid bevel gears are
also used in high
performance applications,
but are more expensive to
produce. They are typically
used in transmission
systems.
Applications
Moreover Bevel Gears are used for
locomotives, marine applications, automobiles,
printing presses, cooling towers, power plants,
steel plants, railway track inspection
machines, etc.
