  2. Gear train - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_train

    With the gear ratios of the transmission and differential and the size of the tires, it becomes possible to calculate the speed of the car for a particular gear at a particular engine RPM. For example, it is possible to determine the distance the car will travel for one revolution of the engine by dividing the circumference of the tire by the ...

  3. Crawl ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crawl_ratio

    Crawl ratio is a term used in the automotive world to describe the highest gear ratio that a vehicle is capable of. Note that gear ratio, also known as speed ratio, of a gear train is defined as the ratio of the angular velocity of the input gear to the angular velocity of the output gear, and thus a higher gear ratio implies a larger speed reduction, i.e. the input speed is reduced more at ...

  5. Overdrive (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    The rotational speed of the wheels for that given forward speed is simple to calculate, being the tire circumference multiplied by the RPM. [a] As the tire RPM at maximum speed is not the same as the engine RPM at that power, a transmission is used with a gear ratio to convert one to the other. [b]

  6. Gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear

    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. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    Cutting speed may be defined as the rate at the workpiece surface, irrespective of the machining operation used. A cutting speed for mild steel of 100 ft/min is the same whether it is the speed of the cutter passing over the workpiece, such as in a turning operation, or the speed of the cutter moving past a workpiece, such as in a milling operation.

  8. Overspeed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overspeed

    Electrical overspeed systems on turbines rely on a multitude of probes that sense speed through measuring the passages of the teeth of a spur gear. [7] Using a digital logic solver, the overspeed system determines the propeller shaft rpm given the ratio of the gear to the shaft. [7]

  9. Gear inches - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_inches

    Gear inches is one way of measuring the gear ratio(s) of a bicycle, so that different gears and different bicycles can be compared in a consistent manner. Gear inches is an imperial measure corresponding to the diameter in inches of the drive wheel of a penny-farthing bicycle with equivalent ( direct-drive ) gearing.
