Transfers motion between two shafts running parallel to each other. They are characterized by their teeth, which are straight and parallel to the gears axis of rotation.
Spur Gear
Worm Gear
Bevel Gear
Crown Gear
Conically shaped gears that transmit power between shafts that have intersecting axes of rotation.
Spur Gear
Bevel Gear
Rack Gear
Crown Gear
A gear mounted to a straight rod, such that it moves in a linear fashion when torque is applied to it by a spur gear (known as the pinion gear).
Spur Gear
Crown Gear
Bevel Gear
Rack and pinion Gear
The relationship between the numbers of teeth on two meshing gears used to transmit motion. It reflects the change in mechanical advantage resulting from the gears.
Gear pitch
Tooth decay
Gear ratio
aspect pitch
