Spur gears teeth are parallel to the axis of the gear.Simplest and least expensive form of gear to make.Spur gears can only be meshed if their axes are parallel.A spur gearset can be 98 to 99% efficient (Power Out/Power In).

Helical gears are ones in which the teeth are at a helix angle with respect to the axis of the gear.Helical gears are quieter and smoother than spur gears because of the gradual contact between the angled surfaces as the teeth mesh together.They are better suited for applications of high speed, large power transmission, or where noise abatement is important.A helical gearset will be 96 to 98% efficient due to the sliding friction along the helix angle.Helical gears also have a reaction force along the axis of the gear and so they require thrust and radial bearings.

When a pair of meshing helical gears are mounted on parallel shafts, they must be of opposite hand.When meshing helical gears are mounted on nonparallel shafts, they are known as crossed helical gearsCrossed helical gears are only 50 to 90% efficient.Herringbone gears are two helical gears of identical pitch and diameter but of opposite hand on the same shaft. There is a cancellation of the thrust load and so no thrust bearing is needed. This type of gear is expensive.

A worm gear has one tooth wrapped continuously around its circumference (similar to a screw thread).A large speed ratio (200 to 1) could not be reasonably achieved in one reduction because of the size of the gear required.If a spur gear pinion had 20 teeth, the larger spur gear would have 4000 teeth.A better solution is to use a worm gear. They are designed not to backdrive and can only be driven from the worm.

Hypoid gears are used if the axes between the gears are non-parallel and nonintersecting. They are based on rolling hyperboloids of revolution.

A single gearset of spur, helical, or bevel gears is usually limited to a ratio of about 10:1 because of cost, size, manufacturing, and packaging.

a) Two spur gears are meshed together. The pinion has 15 teeth while the gear has 60 teeth. If the pinion is driven at 100 rpm, what is the speed of the gear?
Lecture 10
Example
N1 = 15 (input) N2=60 (output) Assume an external mesh
(w1/w2) = (-N2/N1) = (-60/15) = -4 w2 = (w1/-4) w2 = 100 rpm/-4 = -25 rpm
b) If the gear is driven at 100 rpm what is the speed of the pinion?
N1 = 60 N2=15(w1/w2) = (-15/60) = -1/4 w2 = -4w1 w2 = -4(100 rpm) = -400 rpm
What is the angular velocity of the gear in part b?
w1 = 100 rot/min * (2p rad/1 rot) * (1 min/60 sec) = 10.47 rad/s
