Use at least three gears. Driven gear must turn at least three times faster than the first driver gear. Driven gear must turn in the opposite direction of the first driver gear. If the driven gear has more teeth than the driving gear, the driven gear rotates at a slower rotational speed. If the driven gear has less teeth than the driving gear, the driven gear rotates at a faster rotational speed.
The number of teeth z. Module m. Ratio between the pitch circle in millimeters and the number of teeth. The gear ratio r t is the ratio between the rotational speeds of two mating gears. The system may cause a reduction if the gear ratio is less than 1, or a multiplication if it is greater than 1.
Generally, you want to shift gears when your car reaches 2,, RPM. Eventually, you will know when to shift by sound and feel.
To calculate speed ratio, otherwise known as gear ratio, you divide the number of teeth of the input gear by the number of teeth of the output gear. A gear is a simple mechanical device that transmits rotational motion force to another gear or device. Thus, the larger a gear's radius, the slower its rotational speed. Gear Ratios. When the teeth of two gears interlock, the gears themselves move at the same speed meters per second or feet per minute.
The ratio is the number of teeth on the driven gear ring divided by the number of teeth on the drive gear pinion. So, if the ring gear has 37 teeth and the pinion has 9 teeth, the ratio is 4. In a different application, railway locomotives pulling loads up steep inclines sometimes have a pinion wheel under the locomotive, engaging with a rack in the centre of the rail tracks.
The Apt railway in Tasmania is a fine example of this type of gearing. Gears Simple gears Bevel gears Worm gears Rack and pinion. Simple gears. Worm gears. Rack and pinion gears.

How Gears Work. Mechanical advantage Torque. Helical gears are used for parallel shaft drives. Their teeth are inclined to the axis and hence for the same width, their teeth are longer than spur gears. Their contact ratio the average number of teeth in contact at any one time is therefore higher than that of spur gears, which allows increased capacity better load sharing and a smoother and quieter operation. Due to the tooth inclination, helical gears tend to create axial forces, in addition to transverse and radial loads.
This can have undesirable effects on bearing life, but can be overcome to some degree in multiple step transmissions by alternating the inclination of helix on gears that share the same shaft. These gears are also used for transmitting power between two parallel shafts. They have two opposing tooth helix's on the circumference. These opposing helix angles enables this type of gear to nullify more axial loads. Their load capacity is very high but manufacturing difficulty makes them more costly.
Internal gears have their tooth engraved in the inner periphery. These gears also are used in transmitting power between parallel shafts. Internal gears are used in planetary gear drives of automotive transmission reduction,gear boxes of cement mills,step up drives of windmills etc. Rack is a linear gear. The gear which meshes with it is called a pinion. The tooth can be of either helical or spur type. These type of gears are used in converting circular motion to linear and vice versa. These gears are used for transmitting power between intersecting shafts at different angles of which most common are those at right angles.
