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; this provides a smooth transmission of rotation from one gear to the next.

    A gear train is two or more gear working together by meshing their teeth and turning each other in a system to generate power and speed

    It reduces speed and increases torque                             

   Electric motors are used with the gear systems to reduce the speed and increase the torque

 

Types of gear train

-  Simple gear train

-  Compound gear train

-  Epicyclic gear train

-  Reverted gear train
