Gears have the capacities of transmitting several ten thousand kilowatts (kW) of powers and rotating at 150 meters per second (m/s) of pitch-line speed. The maximum pitch-line speed that gears can achieve is approximately 300m/s. The maximum outside diameters may be made above 10 meters (m) and the maximum single transmission ratio may be above 8. Normally, the small gear of the two mating gears is called the pinion and the large one is referred to as the gear, regardless of which is the driver and which is the follower.1 When the pinion is on the driving shaft, the gear pair acts as a speed reducer; when the gear drives, the gear pair is a speed increaser.;3.2 Advantages and Disadvantages of Gears ;3.3 Type of Gears ;(b) Helical: Helical gears offer a refinement over spur gears. The leading edges of the teeth are not parallel to the axis of rotation, but are set at an angle. Since the gear is curved, this angling causes the tooth shape to be a segment of a helix. Helical gears have certain advantages; for example, when connecting parallel shafts they have a higher load-carrying capacity than spur gears with the same tooth numbers and cut with the same cutter. Because of the overlapping action of the teeth, they are smoother in action and can operate at higher pitch-line velocities than spur gears. Helical gears can also be used to connect nonparallel, non-intersecting shafts at any angle to one another. Ninety degrees is the commonest angle at which such gears are used. ;(c) Worm: Worm gears provide the simplest means of obtaining large ratios in a single pair. They are usually less efficient than parallel-shaft gears, however, because of an additional sliding movement along the teeth. Because of their similarity, t
