  2. Beier variable-ratio gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beier_variable-ratio_gear

    The Beier variable-ratio gear or Beier variator is a mechanical drive offering a continuously variable gear ratio between input and output. The gear relies on the inter-meshing of a number of thin disks. By varying their separation, the effective radius of one disk varies, thus changing the overall gear ratio.

  3. Getrag F28/6 transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getrag_F28/6_transmission

    It was a 6-speed transmission with the following configuration: Clutch diameter: 9.0 inches 1st gear ratio: 3.57:1 2nd gear ratio: 2.16:1 3rd gear ratio: 1.45:1

  4. Transmission (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_(mechanical...

    Transmission internals for a 2009 Volkswagen Golf. A transmission (also called a gearbox) is a mechanical device which uses a gear set—two or more gears working together—to change the speed, direction of rotation, or torque multiplication/reduction in a machine.

  5. Bevel gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bevel_gear

    Bevel gears are gears where the axes of the two shafts intersect and the tooth-bearing faces of the gears themselves are conically shaped. Bevel gears are most often mounted on shafts that are 90 degrees apart, but can be designed to work at other angles as well. [1] The pitch surface of bevel gears is a cone, known as a pitch cone. Bevel gears ...

  6. Involute gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Involute_gear

    The involute gear profile, sometimes credited to Leonhard Euler, [1] was a fundamental advance in machine design, since unlike with other gear systems, the tooth profile of an involute gear depends only on the number of teeth on the gear, pressure angle, and pitch. That is, a gear's profile does not depend on the gear it mates with.

  7. Rack and pinion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_and_pinion

    A rack and pinion has roughly the same purpose as a worm gear with a rack replacing the gear, in that both convert torque to linear force. However the rack and pinion generally provides higher linear speed — since a full turn of the pinion displaces the rack by an amount equal to the pinion's pitch circle whereas a full rotation of the worm screw only displaces the rack by one tooth width.

  8. Synchro - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchro

    Power to the rotor is connected by slip rings and brushes, represented by the circles at the ends of the rotor winding. As shown, the rotor induces equal voltages in the 120° and 240° windings, and no voltage in the 0° winding. [Vex] does not necessarily need to be connected to the common lead of the stator star windings. Simple two-synchro ...

  9. Hypoid gearboxes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoid_gearboxes

    Hypoid gear sets have long been used in the differential of rear-wheel drive cars, trucks and robotic arms.The scope of misalignment between the centers of the two interlinking shafts permits utilization of larger sized gears which enhances the contact surface area and reduces the wear and tear on the gear hence extending the life and power transmission capabilities of the gearboxes.
