Gears in Robotics

GEARS

You have to look the information related with each of the following ideas and put it in your blog.

1. Gears in robotics: a toothed part of a machine that is held together with another toothed part used to change the speed or direction of transmitted motion.

2. Concept of Force: is one of the fundamental concepts of physics. It is something that changes the motion of an object.

3. Concept of Torque: mechanical part that changes the rotational motion of an object.

4. How gears work?

Gears are used in basically every mechanical object. They make the electronic devices work by implying a special force that makes them move. They can also modify the direction of the rotation of something. For example, when a car turns, the power from the shaft is transmitted to the wheels. This makes the wheels turn.

5. Types of gears: explain each type and have a picture of it.

There are many types of gears, some are:

• Spur gear:

• Bevel gear:

• Crown gear:

• Worm gear:

• Differential gear:

• Pinion:

• Cogwheel:

• Idler gear:

• Ratchet:

• Pawl:

• Planetary gear:

6. Gears efficiency:

7. Direction of gear rotation: a gear can rotate in two different directions, forward rotation and backward rotation. The forward rotation, also called standard rotation, is when the central part of the tooth in the gear goes in the gearing region. The backward rotation is when the tips of the teeth first go in the gearing region.

8. Gear pitch: the pitch is the space between the teeth of the gear where another gear’s teeth would fit.
