Essential Terminology
• Driver – gear attached to a motor
• Follower – gear doing useful work
• Idler – gear between the driver and follower
• Geared Up – the follower moves faster than the driver
• Geared Down – the follower moves slower than the
driver
J.M. Gabrielse
Do you get it?
• Which gear is the driver (A or B)?
• Which gear is the follower (A or B)?

Gear Types
spur gears
differential bevel gears rack & pinion worm gear
X - not used by the Summer STEM Academy

Spur Gears
84 tooth
60 tooth
36 tooth
24 tooth
12 tooth
The number of teeth on each spur gear is a multiple of 12.
12 = 1 x 12, 36 = 3 x 12, 60 = 5 x 12, 80 = 7 x 12
X - only works with the worm gear

Rack & Pinion
rack
pinion
Racks and pinions are used to translate rotational motion into linear motion.

Direction
• every time you add a gear the direction reverses
• even number of gears: driver & follower turn in opposite directions
• odd number of gears:driver & follower turn in same direction

Geared Up
• large driver turns small follower
• less torque (turning force)
• more speed

Geared Down

• more torque (turning force)
• less speed

Gear Analysis
To analyze any gear train you need to:
1. Find the number of driver teeth
2. Find the number of follower teeth

Example
Gear Analysis1. follower teeth: 362. driver teeth: 12
3.
– 3/1 or 3:1 – read as 3 to 1– 3 turns of the driver will turn the follower 1 time
