MTT Gears

Front

What is Compound Gear Reduction calculated by?

Back

Multiplying the gear reductions of each of the individual gear pairs.

Front

What gear is used to convert between rotary and linear motion?

Back

Rack and pinion.

Front

In a gear system, how do gears spin in relation to each other?

Back

Gears spin in opposite directions.

Front

What do we call the gear connected to the input power source, such as a motor?

Back

Driving Gear.

Front

What happens when you have a driving gear that is smaller than the driven gear?

Back

You will increase torque and decrease speed.

Front

What is the purpose of a rack and pinion gear system?

Back

To convert rotary motion into linear motion.

Front

What is the relationship between gear size and torque in a gear system?

Back

A smaller driving gear increases torque while decreasing speed.

Front

What is the term for the gear that is driven by the driving gear?

Back

Driven Gear.

Front

How does gear reduction affect speed and torque?

Back

Gear reduction increases torque and decreases speed.

Front

What is the effect of using gears of different sizes in a gear train?

Back

It allows for the adjustment of speed and torque in the system.
