Spur gears

Bevel gears

Double Bevel
gears

SPUR GEARS are the most

common type of gear. It is used to
transmit power in a straight line.

ROBOTICS

Spur gears

Bevel gears

Double Bevel
gears

BEVEL GEARS are used to transmit

power in a right angle.

Spur gears

Bevel gears

Double Bevel
gears

DOUBLE BEVEL GEARS have two

bevels stuck together back-to-back. It
is used to transmit power at right angle
or straight line.

HOW?

Each time we transmit power from

one gear to another, it can either

Change the direction of

rotation
Increase/decrease the
speed
Increase/decrease force

WHAT IS

RATIO?

It is the relationship of quantity, amount

or size between two or more things

Example:

GIRLS: 12
BOYS: 24
TOTAL STUDENTS: 36

ROBOTICS

WHAT IS

R
ear

atio

It is the ratio of the number of teeth

of the driver gear to the number of
teeth of the follower gear.

ROBOTICS

How do we compute
for the

R
atio
ear
G

Gear ratio can be computed

directly from the number of
teeth of various gears that
engage to form the gear train.
