Definition of chain

• A connected flexible series of links used for fastening or securing objects and pulling or supporting loads.

• A push or pull in straight line.

• A toothed wheel that works with others to alter the relation between the speed of an engine and the speed of the driven parts.

• The ratio of the force that performs the useful work of a machine to the force that is applied to the machine.

Definition of drive gear

• The capacity to do work; the use of mechanisms is necessary to transfer energy.

• The member of a pair of gears to which motion and power are transmitted by the other gear. The output gear

• The gear which transmits power and motion to the rest of the system. The input gear.

• If the Input handle can be turned in both directions for at least one full turn, the device has a reversible direction of travel.  If it can only be turned in one direction, it is non-reversible.

Definition of driven gear

• The capacity to do work; the use of mechanisms is necessary to transfer energy.

• The member of a pair of gears to which motion and power are transmitted by the other gear. The output gear.

• A connected flexible series of links used for fastening or securing objects and pulling or supporting loads.

• Circular movement.

Definition of energy

• Circular movement.

• A toothed wheel that works with others to alter the relation between the speed of an engine and the speed of the driven parts.

• A push or pull in a straight line.

• The capacity to do work; the use of mechanisms is necessary to transfer energy.

Definition of direction of travel

• If the Input handle can be turned in both directions for at least one full turn, the device has a reversible direction of travel.  If it can only be turned in one direction, it is non-reversible.

• A push or pull in straight line.

• Something added to a system, such as resources, in order to achieve a result.

• The part of a machine which contains two or more pieces arranged so that the motion of one compels the motion of the others.

Definition of force

• A toothed wheel that works with others to alter the relation between the speed of an engine and the speed of the driven parts.

• The ratio of the speed of the driving member of a gear train to that of the driven member.

• A gear between the driver and the driven gear used to change rotational direction.

• A push or pull in a straight line.

Definition of gear

• A combination of two or more gears used to transmit motion between two rotating shafts or between a shaft and a slide.

• The quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.

• A toothed wheel that works with others to alter the relation between the speed of an engine and the speed of the driven parts.

• Circular movement.

Definition of gear ratio

• Something added to a system, such as resources, in order to achieve a result.

• The ratio of the speed of the driving member of a gear train to that of the driven member.

• Opposite in position, direction, order or effect.

• Movement in a straight line.

Definition of input

• Something added to a system, such as resources, in order to achieve a result.

• A push or pull in straight line.

• If the Input handle can be turned in both directions for at least one full turn, the device has a reversible direction of travel.  If it can only be turned in one direction, it is non-reversible.

• The gear which transmits power and motion to the rest of the system. The input gear.

Definition of idler gear

• A gear between the driver and the driven gear used to change rotational direction.

• A toothed wheel that works with others to alter the relation between the speed of an engine and the speed of the driven parts.

• The results of the operation of any system.

• Meshing is a term used to describe the proper engagement of teeth between two or more gears in a gear train.
