What are the types of gear?

Read on to learn the different types of gear and the applications and industries that utilize them.

  • Spur Gear. Spur gears transmit power through shafts that are parallel.
  • Helical Gear.
  • Double Helical Gear.
  • Herringbone Gear.
  • Bevel Gear.
  • Worm Gear.
  • Hypoid Gear.

How do you calculate the outside diameter of a spur gear?

Outside Diameter (de) is the diameter of the outside circle; its value is: de = m (z + 2); de = d + 2m.

How do you calculate gear module?

How to Calculate Module of a Gear? Divide the pitch diameter (in millimeters!) of a gear by its number of teeth to get the module of a gear. Alternatively, 25.4 divided by the diametral pitch of the gear will also give you its module.

What is the difference between worm and bevel gear?

Worm gear is specifically used to transmit power and also to convert rotary motion to linear motion. A bevel gear is used to transmit power between two non-intersecting and mostly perpendicular shafts. Use of bevel gear can be seen in the differential of an automobile.

How do I choose a bevel gear?

Selection tip: Gears must have the same pitch and pressure angle in order to mesh. In addition, spiral bevel and hypoid bevel gears must be of opposite-hand teeth orientation to mesh.
