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

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

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
