What determines rear axle ratio?

The # of teeth on the ring gear and the pinion gear. There is always more teeth on the ring gear then the pinion gear. And the way you determine the gear ratio is devide the # of teeth that's on the pinion gear into the # of teeth that's on the ring gear and that will be the gear ratio. The 4 gears that are the same size and run together is called the spider gears. Do not count those gears they have nothing to do with the gear RATIO.


What are crown and pinion used for?

They Are Used In Engines And Other Vehicles, I Think. We Are Studying This In Gateway Tech. Crown and Pinion usually refers to the main gears in a vehicles differential. Older rear wheel drive cars and trucks typically have a rear axle that is driven by the engine. That axle contains a differential, that contains the Crown and Pinion gears. The gears are used to change the direction the engine is rotating the crankshaft; to a rotating direction in the axle.

I think you mean RACK and pinion backlash. This is the amount of space between teeth in the gears of the rack and pinion which would cause a slight reverse motion before contact is re established to go forward.


Where are the mill gears on Astro Knights Island?

The mill gears on Astro Knights Island are in the second-floor loft of the mill, and they are locked to prevent the windmill arms from turning. Grab the short hanging rope to unlock the gears. Go outside and turn the windmill arms counter-clockwise by climbing on them, and you will see the roof dome open.


Can a windmill be clogged with dirt or anything?

Only the gears inside of a windmill can be clogged, not the sails themselves. A windmill is a machine, powered by the wind, that is used to convert the wind's energy into other useful forms, which is then used to do work. One use of a windmill is to use its power to grind wheat into flour, which can be then used to make bread. The way an windmill actually works though, is by capturing the kinetic energy of the wind to move its sails or blades (whatever it uses), which are connected to a drive shaft ( a central shaft that the connects the sails to the gears), which moves a series of gears that convert the wind's power into another form. Just like you could clog a pencil sharpener if there was too much gunk in it, the gears in a windmill or even a wind turbine could clog with any manner of items or objects, such as dirt, pieces of clothing, ice, or organic matter. Good upkeep is vital for the operation of an efficient windmill.
