  2. Magnetic gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_Gear

    The magnetic gear is a magnetic coupling device that renders a mechanical ratio between two magnetically-coupled devices such that: They have a ratio of rotation or translational movement between input and output which may be unity in the case of a pure magnetic coupling or one of many gear ratios in a magnetic gearbox.

  3. Gear train - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_train

    A gear train or gear set is a machine element of a mechanical system formed by mounting two or more gears on a frame such that the teeth of the gears engage.. Gear teeth are designed to ensure the pitch circles of engaging gears roll on each other without slipping, providing a smooth transmission of rotation from one gear to the next. [2]

  4. Non-circular gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-circular_gear

    Non-circular gear example Another non-circular gear. A non-circular gear (NCG) is a special gear design with special characteristics and purpose. While a regular gear is optimized to transmit torque to another engaged member with minimum noise and wear and with maximum efficiency, a non-circular gear's main objective might be ratio variations, axle displacement oscillations and more.

  5. Epicyclic gearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicyclic_gearing

    Analysis assumes a common gear design modulus. The planetary gears (blue) turn in a ratio determined by the number of teeth in each gear. Here, the ratio is ⁠− + 27 / 18 ⁠, or ⁠− + 3 / 2 ⁠; meaning that each planet gear turns at ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠ the rate of the sun gear, in the opposite direction. An outer ring gear is not shown.

    Worm-and-gear sets are a simple and compact way to achieve a high torque, low speed gear ratio. For example, helical gears are normally limited to gear ratios of less than 10:1 while worm-and-gear sets vary from 10:1 to 500:1. [45] A disadvantage is the potential for considerable sliding action, leading to low efficiency. [46]

  7. Strain wave gearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_Wave_Gearing

    High gear reduction ratios are possible in a small volume (a ratio from 30:1 up to 320:1 is possible in the same space in which planetary gears typically only produce a 10:1 ratio). Disadvantages include a tendency for 'wind-up' (a torsional spring rate) in the low torque region. Strain wave gearing is commonly used in robotics [3] and ...

  8. List of gear nomenclature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gear_nomenclature

    The composite action test (double flank) is a method of inspection in which the work gear is rolled in tight double flank contact with a master gear or a specified gear, in order to determine (radial) composite variations (deviations). The composite action test must be made on a variable center distance composite action test device.

  9. Cycloidal drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloidal_drive

    The direction of rotation of the disc and output is opposite to that of the input shaft. The number of pins on the ring gear is larger than the number of pins on the cycloidal disc. This causes the cycloidal disc to rotate around the bearing faster than the input shaft is moving it around, giving an overall rotation in the direction opposing ...
