A mechanical advantage is produced, with the rotational speeds and the torques of the two gears differing in an inverse relationship. When two gears mesh, and one gear is bigger than the other (even though the size of the teeth must match). With a gear reduction, the output speed can be reduced while the torque is increased. But the motor only produces a small amount of torque at a high speed. Because it needs lots of torque to turn screws.

For instance, an electric screwdriver has a very large gear reduction. This is key because, often, a small motor spinning very fast can provide enough power for a device. They provide a gear reduction in motorized equipment. Gears are used in tons of mechanical devices. An advantage of gears is that the teeth of a gear prevent slippage. The gears in a transmission are analogous to the wheels in a crossed belt pulley system. Thereby producing translation instead of rotation. However, a gear can also mesh with a non-rotating toothed part, called a rack. The most common situation is for a gear to mesh with another gear. Geared devices can change the speed, torque, and direction of a power source. It can produce a mechanical advantage through a gear ratio and thus may be considered a simple machine. Two or more gears working in tandem are called a transmission. In most cases with teeth on the one gear being of identical shape, and often also with that shape on the other gear. Which mesh with another toothed part in order to transmit torque. Here we will discuss about types of gears, A gearor cogwheel is a rotating machine part having cut teeth, or cogs.
