What is a gear? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Different types of gears Spur gears Belts & Pulleys Bevel gears Idler gears Worm gears
Spur Gears Most “common” type of gear, a wheel with teeth. Build the following... Make sure there isn’t too much friction between the gears and the beam. The gears should spin easily. Spur gears do three things. 1. Change rot. speed 2. Change torque  3. Change direction 1x16 beam 8 tooth gear #6 axle 40 tooth gear (put bushings on  the back side)
Gear Ratios The  gear ratio  is the ratio of the number of teeth on one gear to the number of teeth on the other gear. Gear ratio = 40 to 8 or, simplifying, 5 to 1. That means it takes 5 revolutions of the smaller gear to get 1 revolution of the larger gear. Try it! 40 teeth 8 teeth
Gear Ratios The gear ratio tells you the change in speed and torque of the rotating axles. If it takes 5 turns of the 8 tooth gear for every 1 turn of  the 40 tooth gear, that means the 40 tooth gear will rotate  5 times slower than the 8 tooth gear. BUT, it also means the 40 tooth gear’s axle has 5 times  the  torque  (rotational force) as the 8 tooth gear’s axle.
Idler Gears An  idler gear  is a gear that is inserted between 2 other gears. idler gear Build the following. Add another 8 tooth gear to the right of the 40 tooth gear. How many turns of the 8 tooth gear on the left does it take to  make 1 turn of the new 8 tooth gear on the right?
Idler Gears Answer: 1!  It’s as if the 8 tooth gears are meshed together. ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Bevel Gears Bevel gears  are spur gears that mesh at a 90 degree angle. The gear ratio rules remain   the same, but the axles are perpendicular to one another. These 12 tooth bevel gears can only mesh with them-selves.
Worm Gears Build the following…. 1 2 3 4 5 #6 axle half bushing 24 tooth gear 1x6 beam 2 1x4 plates 1x4 beam full  bushing worm gear #10 axle
Worm Gears Worm gears  have some special properties. 1: The axles are perpen-dicular, like bevel gears. 2: How many rotations of the worm gear does it take for 1 rotation of the spur gear? The worm gear acts like a gear with 1 tooth! This gives very large gear ratios. ANSWER: 24!
Worm Gears Worm gears are not back-driveable. You can turn the worm gear’s axle, but you can’t turn the spur gear’s axle. This property is used as a  locking mechanism.
Belts & Pulleys Belts & pulleys are related to gears. They change speed and torque, but with a few differences... Pulleys transfer their force by the friction of the belts, rather than direct contact with the teeth of gears. This can cause the belts to slip. Unlike gears, the pulleys rotate in the  same  direction.
Belts & Pulleys Belts can transfer force across long distances. Like gears, however, belts and pulleys do have a “gear ratio.” It is the ratio of the diameters of the pulleys.
