The Input handle can be turned in both directions for at least one full turn
Meshing
The capacity to do work; the use of mechanisms is necessary to transfer energy.
Opposite in position, direction, order or effect.
The results of the operation of any system.
A term used to describe the proper engagement of teeth between two or more gears in a gear train.
Reciprocating
A back and forth movement in a straight line.
A swing back and forth in an arc at a regular rate.
Opposite in position, direction, order or effect.
The ratio of the speed of the driving member of a gear train to that of the driven member.
What is a driven gear
The Input handle can be turned in both directions for at least one full turn
The capacity to do work; the use of mechanisms is necessary to transfer energy.

Opposite in position, direction, order or effect.
A swing back and forth in an arc at a regular rate.
Ratio
A gear between the driver and the driven gear used to change rotational direction.
The ratio of the speed of the driving member of a gear train to that of the driven member.
If you can make the input shaft turn by turning the output shaft the flow of power is reversible. If the input shaft does not turn or only turns part of the way, the power is non-reversible
The quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.
Oscillating
A swing back and forth in an arc at a regular rate.

Circular movement
A gear between the driver and the driven gear used to change rotational direction.
Rotary
If you can make the input shaft turn by turning the output shaft the flow of power is reversible. If the input shaft does not turn or only turns part of the way, the power is non-reversible
