Concept Overview

In this chapter, the reader will gain a central understanding regarding

  1. Purposes, designs, and functions of spur, planetary, rack and pinion, helical, bevel, and worm gears
  2. Criteria for optimal gear operation and its relationship with gear design variables and design equations
  3. Equations and solution methods for the kinematics of spur, planetary, rack and pinion, helical, bevel, and worm gears

8.1 Introduction

Gears are mechanical components used to transmit motion from one shaft to another. In Chapters 3 and 4, gears have been introduced in the planar five-bar mechanism. By including a gear pair, as illustrated in Figure 3.4, or a gear train (three ...
