In their most essential form, gears are round, toothed devices enabling the conversion of engine speed into torque. Gears are either mounted to, or are a part of, a gear shaft. Many of the more common gears will have a hole in the center, known as a bore, through which the gear shaft is fitted. When the gear shaft is rotated, the gear also rotates.
A pinion gear is the drive gear in a gear reducer. Gears of less than 10 teeth are often called pinion gears. Pinion gears can be Spur, Helical or Bevel types. Ondrives.US makes a range of Pinion Shafts which are pinion gears machined directly on shafts.
A power take-off or power takeoff (PTO) is any of several methods for taking power from a power source, such as a running engine, and transmitting it to an application such as an attached implement or separate machines.
Most commonly, it is a system comprising a splined output shaft on a tractor or truck, designed so that a PTO shaft, a kind of drive shaft, can be easily connected and disconnected, and a corresponding input shaft on the application end. The power take-off allows implements to draw energy from the engine.
Semi-permanently mounted power take-offs can also be found on industrial and marine engines. These applications typically use a drive shaft and bolted joint to transmit power to a secondary implement or accessory. In the case of a marine application, such shafts may be used to power fire pumps.
A worm drive is a gear arrangement in which a worm (which is a gear in the form of a screw) meshes with a worm gear (which is similar in appearance to a spur gear). The two elements are also called the worm screw and worm wheel. The terminology is often confused by imprecise use of the term worm gear to refer to the worm, the worm gear, or the worm drive as a unit.
Like other gear arrangements, a worm drive can reduce rotational speed or transmit higher torque. A worm is an example of a screw, one of the six simple machines.
In gear generating, the tooth flanks are obtained as an outline of the subsequent positions of the cutter, which resembl
