Understanding Positive Drive Gears

The document discusses different types of mechanical drives that transmit power including belt drives, rope drives, chain drives, and gear drives. It then focuses on gears, classifying them into four main groups: spur gears, helical gears, bevel gears, and worm gears. Diagrams of spur gears, helical gears, bevel gears and worm gears are included.

Module-2 SPUR & HELICAL GEARS


Two groups,
They are
1. Drives that transmit power by means of friction: eg: belt drives and rope drives.
2. Drives that transmit power by means of engagement: eg: chain drives and gear drives.
However, the selection of a proper mechanical drive for a given application depends upon number of
factors such as centre distance, velocity ratio, shifting arrangement, Maintenance and cost.
GEAR DRIVES
Gears are defined as toothed wheels, which transmit power and motion from one shaft to another by
means of successive engagement of teeth
1. The centre distance between the shafts is relatively small.
2. It can transmit very large power
3. It is a positive, and the velocity ratio remains constant.
4. It can transmit motion at a very low velocity.
CLASSIFICATION OF GEARS:
Four groups:
1) Spur Gears
2) Helical gears
3) Bevel gears and
4) Worm Gears
