  2. 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.

  3. List of gear nomenclature - Wikipedia

    Outer cone distance in bevel gears is the distance from the apex of the pitch cone to the outer ends of the teeth. When not otherwise specified, the short term cone distance is understood to be outer cone distance. Mean cone distance in bevel gears is the distance from the apex of the pitch cone to the middle of the face width.

  4. Gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear

    Bevel gear operating a lock gate. In a crossed arrangement, the axes of rotation of the two gears are not parallel but cross at an arbitrary angle except zero or 180 degrees. For best operation, each wheel then must be a bevel gear, whose overall shape is like a slice of a cone whose apex is the meeting point of the two axes.

  5. Spiral bevel gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_bevel_gear

    Spiral bevel gear. A spiral bevel gear is a bevel gear with helical teeth. The main application of this is in a vehicle differential, where the direction of drive from the drive shaft must be turned 90 degrees to drive the wheels. The helical design produces less vibration and noise than conventional straight-cut or spur-cut gear with straight ...

  6. Spur gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spur_gear

    Spur gears can be classified into two main categories: External and Internal. Gears with teeth on the outside of the cylinder are known as "external gears". Gears with teeth on the internal side of the cylinder are known as "internal gears". An external gear can mesh with an external gear or an internal gear.

  7. Screw thread - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_thread

    Screw thread, used to convert torque into the linear force in the flood gate.The operator rotates the small vertical bevel gear in the center. Through mechanical advantage this causes the horizontal bevel gears (at far left and far right, with threaded center holes) to rotate.

  8. Herringbone gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herringbone_gear

    A herringbone gear, a specific type of double helical gear, [1] is a side-to-side, rather than face-to-face, combination of two helical gears of opposite hands. [2] From the top, each helical groove of this gear looks like the letter V, and many together form a herringbone pattern (resembling the bones of a fish such as a herring).

  9. Shaft-driven bicycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft-driven_bicycle

    The use of bevel gears allows the axis of the drive torque from the pedals to be turned through 90 degrees. The drive shaft then has another bevel gear near the rear wheel hub which meshes with a bevel gear on the hub where the rear sprocket would be on a conventional bike, and canceling out the first drive torque change of axis.
