F. Gear Mechanisms

Gear is a wheel with teeth on its surface designed to mesh with another gear or rack. The meshing of two gears constitutes a gear pair. The gear mechanism is a mechanism containing at least one toothed link. Gear mechanisms are in general used to transmit the motion of revolutions between two shafts in which the transmission ratio is constant. Since gear mechanisms have the advantages of high transmission efficiency, compact structures, and easy manufacture, they are broadly used in many mechanical transmissions.
