The gear ratio of a train, also known as its speed ratio, is the ratio of the angular velocity of the input gear to the velocity of the output gear. The gear ratio is very important when it comes to physics.

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.

Which gear turns faster if the driving gear is larger than the driven gear?

according to velocity ratio i.e N1/N2 = D2/D1 which implies that diameter of gear is inversly proportaional to speed . hence, DRIVEN GEAR will move faster as it is smaller in size than the DRIVING GEAR


What is the relationship between driven gear and drive gear?

The ratio is the driven gear divided by the driver gear. This determines the gear ratio.


Why do gears have a gear ratio?

When one gear is used to drive another, the number of teeth on each gear will factor into the ratio. Even if the number is the same it will have a 1 to 1 ratio. In a rear axle, for example, a common ratio is 41 teeth on the ring gear (driven gear) and 11 teeth on the pinion gear (drive gear). 41/11 is 3.727272 or commonly called a 3.73 to 1 ratio. It take 3.73 turns of the drive gear to get one turn of the driven gear. If you are interested, the different ratios provide different combinations of speed and power. Thus a large gear pulling a smaller one gives speed while a smaller gear pulling a larger one gives power.


What happens to torque when something rotates faster?

When ever you attach a gear with less teeth to a gear with more teeth, thus increasing your gear ratio and the speed in which the gear with less teeth rotate, the amount of torque in your gear combination decreases. This can also be expressed as a ratio, which happens to be the inverse of a gear ratio, meaning if your gear ratio was lets say... 1:5, the ratio for the amount of torque is 5:1, meaning you receive five times less the amount of torque, to increase your speed five times as fast.

What is CVT engine?

CVT generally refers to a Constant Velocity Transmission. This means that the engine will spin a a more constant speed while a vehicle accelerates. A CVT is similar to a snowmobile clutch system where the gear ratio is changed by two clutches that open and close to change the "gear ratio" of the belt that runs between them. this tecnology has been adapted to some automobiles and it is called CVT.
