Sliding Gears in a transmission are straight-tooth spur gears with a taper (also known as a lead) to make engaging easier. Helical gears are mostly used in a transmission because spur gears produce gear noise and have a great strain on the teeth of the gear since only one tooth can be in contact at any given time. But because helical gears cannot be taken out of mesh, spur gears are used for the reverse gear because reverse spins the opposite way and cannot be in constant mesh.

How can I replace bike gears effectively and efficiently?

To replace bike gears effectively and efficiently, follow these steps: Gather the necessary tools such as a screwdriver, wrench, and replacement gears. Remove the old gears by loosening the bolts and sliding them off. Install the new gears by aligning them properly and tightening the bolts securely. Test the gears to ensure they are shifting smoothly before riding.

What are the different types of gear combinations used in mechanical systems?

There are three main types of gear combinations used in mechanical systems: spur gears, helical gears, and bevel gears. Spur gears have straight teeth and are used for simple applications. Helical gears have angled teeth for smoother operation and higher loads. Bevel gears have cone-shaped teeth and are used to change the direction of rotation.


What is difference between synchromesh and sliding mesh gearbox?

Sliding mesh - This is where the gears are not in constant mesh with each other and the gears on the main shaft slide over to mesh with the gears on the lay shaft/counter shaft. Synchromesh - the problem with constant mesh is that the gears crash into each other when changing gear because there travelling at different rpms (one at engine speed and the other a lot slower) They dont line up properly when spinning and when they go to mesh they end up grinding. So the awnser is Synchromesh which uses Baulk rings to lock onto the gear first before the sliding sleeve comes over to lock on. Difficult to explain how it works but basically its a smooth gear change.
