Gears VEX Agenda Essential Terminology Gear Types Gearing Up/Gearing Down Direction Gear Ratios Example Application: Sumo-Bot Competition Essential Terminology Driver – gear attached to a motor Follower – gear doing useful work Idler – gear between the driver and follower Gear Train – a row of gears Geared Up – the follower moves faster than the driver Geared Down – the follower moves slower than the driver Compound gears – a gear train with multiple gears on one axle Do you get it? Which gear is the driver (A or B)? Which gear is the follower (A or B)? Do you get it? Which gear is the driver (A or B)? → A Which gear is the follower (A or B)? → B Do you get it? Which gear is the follower (A, B, or C)? Which gear is the driver (A, B, or C)? Which gear is the idler (A, B, or C)? Do you get it? Which gear is the follower (A, B, or C)? → C Which gear is the driver (A, B, or C)? → A Which gear is the idler (A, B, or C)? → B Gear Types Spur Gears Worm Gears Bevel Gears Rack Pinion Differential Sprockets Chains Pulleys Belts Pulleys and belts are not available for VEX Direction even number of gears: driver follower turn in opposite directions odd number of gears: driver follower turn in same direction Did you get it? Did you get it? Did you get it? Did you get it? Geared Up large driver turns small follower increases speed decreases torque (turning force) Geared Down small driver turns large follower increases torque (turning force) decreases speed Gear Analysis To analyze any gear train you need to: Locate the driver gear Locate the follower gear Calculate the Gear Ratio Use the following rules to calculate gear ratios. Gear Ratios(determining what a gear will do) Example Gear Ratio: ? or 1:3 read as 1 to 3 1 turn of the driver will turn the follower 3 times What is the gear ratio? What is the gear ratio? Long Gear Trains The gear attached to the motor is the driver. The gear doing work is the follower. All in-between gears are idlers. Ignore th
