2. Differential (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

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

   Spur-gear differential. A spur-gear differential has an equal-sized spur gears at each end, each of which is connected to an output shaft. [8] The input torque (i.e. from the engine or transmission) is applied to the differential via the rotating carrier. [8] Pinion pairs are located within the carrier and rotate freely on pins supported by the ...

3. Spiral bevel gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_bevel_gear

   The shape of a hypoid gear is a revolved hyperboloid (that is, the pitch surface of the hypoid gear is a hyperbolic surface), whereas the shape of a spiral bevel gear is normally conical. The hypoid gear places the pinion off-axis to the crown wheel (ring gear) which allows the pinion to be larger in diameter and have more contact area. In ...

4. Bevel gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bevel_gear

   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 change the axis of rotation of rotational power delivery and are widely used in mechanical settings. Bevel gear on roller shutter door.

5. Limited-slip differential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-slip_differential

   A limited-slip differential (LSD) is a type of differential gear train that allows its two output shafts to rotate at different speeds but limits the maximum difference between the two shafts. Limited-slip differentials are often known by the generic trademark Positraction , a brand name owned by General Motors and originally used for its ...

6. 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.

7. Gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear

   Two intermeshing spur gears rotating at different velocity due to differing gear ratio. A gear [1] [2] or gearwheel [3] [4] [5] is a rotating machine part typically used to transmit rotational motion and/or torque by means of a series of teeth that engage with compatible teeth of another gear or other part.

8. Epicyclic gearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicyclic_gearing

   Thus, the angular velocity of the carrier of a spur gear differential is the average of the angular velocities of the sun and ring gears. In discussing the spur gear differential, the use of the term ring gear is a convenient way to distinguish the sun gears of the two epicyclic gear trains. Ring gears are normally fixed in most applications as ...

9. Overdrive (mechanics) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdrive_(mechanics)

   This is especially important because the differential gears are bathed in heavy oil and seldom provided with any cooling besides air blowing over the housing. The impetus is to minimize overdrive use and provide a higher ratio first gear, which means more gears between the first and the last to keep the engine at its most efficient speed.
