I. Introduction Gears are the most common means of transmitting power in mechanical engineering. There are tiny gears for devices like wrist watches and there are large gears that some of you might have noticed in the movie like Titanic. Gears from vital elements of mechanisms in many machines such as vehicles, metal tooling machine tools, rolling mills, hoisting and transmitting machinery, marine engines, and the like. Toothed gears are used to change the speed, power, and direction between an input and output shaft. Gears have existed since the invention of rotating machinery. Because of their force-multiplying properties, early engineers used them for hoisting heavy loads such as building materials. Gears are composed of different parts that play an important role or purposes In order to operate from its work. This are: addendum which is the height of tooth above pitch circle or the distance between the pitch circle and the top of the tooth. The

    You do not have to look far to see gears. You might not think of an object such as a computer as having a lot of moving parts, but the CD tray on your computer is likely controlled by gears. A traditional watch is full of gears. The watch has one source of power or input that must move multiple hands continuously and at different speeds. Some watches also keep track of the day of the month. This may be low-tech by today’s standards, but imagine the challenge of choosing just the right gears to keep a watch synchronized. In a watch the gears are used to manipulate rotational speed. Gears are also used in many applications to control torque and rotational direction.…

    A wrench is a tool that is used by hand and is used for making and repairing things. A wrench can loosen or tighten bolts, nuts, or nails using it adjustable teeth at the front of the tool. The first wrench was patented by Solymon Merrick in 1835. There is a variety of different wrenches that include; Monkey Wrench, Ratchet Wrench, Pipe Wrench, and the Rachetless Wrench, all of these different tools perform different functions. The wrench may seem like a simple hardware tool yet it is complicated, tedious, and a very precise piece of…

    Among those inventions that are credited with passing into general practical use are the strut bridge, the automated bobbin winder, the rolling mill, the machine for testing the tensile strength of wire and the lens-grinding machine pictured at right. In the lens-grinding machine, the hand rotation of the grinding wheel operates an angle-gear, which rotates a shaft, turning a geared dish in which sits the glass or crystal to be crushed. A single action rotates both surfaces at a speed ratio determined by the…

    As simple as it may seem, there are many different types and sizes of gears used in tons of complex machines. Sometimes they have straight teeth and sometimes they have curved or inclined teeth at various angles. They are connected in all different ways to move motion and force in machines. When they work, one gear wheel turns faster or slower than the other, or moves in a different direction. The difference of the speed between the two gears causes a change in the force given out. There are many different ways gears can be combined to be useful for various purposes. For instance, spur gears are two gear wheels intermeshed. These gears regulate the speed or force of motion and can reverse direction. Next, there are rack and pinion gears. They are comprised of one wheel, the pinion, and a sliding toothed rack. This allows a rotating motion to be changed into a back and forth motion. Rack and pinion gears are often used in steering cars. These and other gears are used in numerous complex machines. A washing machine is comprised of spur gears to turn the…

    A large portion of the United States population find that driving a car with a manual transmission, or stick shift as it is commonly referred to, is incredibly difficult. However, all it actually takes is rigorous practice and absolute dedication before driving a stick shift becomes a habit. The main purpose of the manual transmission is to allow a vehicle to travel at high speeds with lower revolutions, but still have enough power to accelerate. The three main components of the manual transmission are; the shifter, the clutch pedal, and the clutch. The shifter is usually located in between the front seats of a vehicle; however, the shifter can also be placed behind the steering wheel on older vehicles. The shifter has the ability to move forward or backward, and left to right for different gear changes. The clutch is located between the transmission and engine and converts engine rotation into forward movement via transmission. The clutch pedal is located to the left of the brake pedal. A typical manual transmission has five gears, and a reverse gear. In order to be successful at driving a vehicle with a manual transmission, a set of steps must be followed and repeated every time the car is…
