WHAT DOES GEAR TRAIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

gear train

Gear train

A gear train is formed by mounting gears on a frame so that the teeth of the gears engage. Gear teeth are designed to ensure the pitch circles of engaging gears roll on each other without slipping, providing a smooth transmission of rotation from one gear to the next. The transmission of rotation between contacting toothed wheels can be traced back to the Antikythera mechanism of Greece and the south-pointing chariot of China. Illustrations by the renaissance scientist Georgius Agricola show gear trains with cylindrical teeth. The implementation of the involute tooth yielded a standard gear design that provides a constant speed ratio. Some important features of gears and gear trains are: ▪ The ratio of the pitch circles of mating gears defines the speed ratio and the mechanical advantage of the gear set. ▪ A planetary gear train provides high gear reduction in a compact package. ▪ It is possible to design gear teeth for gears that are non-circular, yet still transmit torque smoothly. ▪ The speed ratios of chain and belt drives are computed in the same way as gear ratios. See bicycle gearing.
