Gear Parts

A gear is a toothed wheel designed to transmit the force to another gear or toothed component. The teeth of a gear is known as cogs. They are shaped to minimize wear, vibration and noise and at the same time maximize the efficiency of power transmission.

Gears of different size, the larger one is called a wheel and the smaller one is called a pinion, are used in pairs so that the force of the driving gear can produce a larger force in the driven gear, that also at a lower speed or it can be for the purpose of producing a smaller force at a higher speed.
