As you rode, there was a chain that moved gears and enabled the wheel to turn. These gears assist in determining the speed or how hard one should pedal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Basic Terms Used in Different Types of Gears<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should be familiar with some of the common terminologies before you get to know the types of gears.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Teeth: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are the sticky parts of a gear that fit into another gear.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pitch Circle:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A Theoretical circle that denotes contacting gears.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Gear Ratio:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is a ratio of gear sizes of two gears. It controls speed and torque.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Torque:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the rotational force that assists machines to move or lift loads.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Axis: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the center of rotation of a gear.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How do Gears Work? Gear Functions Explained<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gears operate by moving the movement of one shaft to another. When two gears are brought in contact, the teeth slide against each other and spin. Three significant things can be changed by this interaction:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\u0633\u0631\u0639\u0629<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a small gear is operating a larger gear, the larger gear will also rotate slowly.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a big gear rotates a small gear, the small gear rotates quicker.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Torque<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The force that makes rotation is called torque. Gears are used to slow down, which increases torque. The machines, such as cranes or elevators, apply this concept to hoist heavy items.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Direction of Rotation<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When two gears are joined, they spin in opposite directions. Gear arrangements are used to regulate the direction of movement in machines by engineers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Main Types of Gears<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gears are made in numerous forms by engineers.
