A simple gear train with an idler is commonly used in applications where the direction of rotation needs to be reversed without changing the speed ratio, such as in clock mechanisms or toy car transmissions. The idler gear acts as a mediator, allowing for spacing between the driving and driven gears while maintaining their rotational relationship. This setup can also help achieve desired gear ratios while minimizing friction and wear in the system.

How is the Simple Gear Train with Idler used?

A simple gear train with idler is a gear train the contains 3 gears. These gears are called the driver, idler, and driven or follower. The idler merely changes the direction of the follower so that it is the same as the driver.


Why might you have a gear train with three gears?

Because an idler gear may be needed.

Will the idler gear make any difference in the ger ratio of the gear train?

No not normally. It just transfers the motion to another area.

What is simple gear train and compound gear train?

A simple gear train is basically the same as a compound gear train, but the compound gear train usually has more gears closer together. Hope this was useful, and way better than the previous answer (ha ha!! I'm looking for that too! tell me when you find out!!).


Does an idler gear change the speed of the driver gear?

No. But if there are two idler gears, one smaller than the other, say a 12 tooth and a 6 tooth. the 12 tooth idler is the idler of the driver gear which has 24 teeth, making the idler gear rotate 2 times for every rotation that the driver gear rotates. Now, if the 12 tooth idler gear is rotating 2 times faster than the driver gear, then the 6 tooth idler gear will rotate 2 times faster than the 12 tooth idler gear. So, the 6 tooth idler gear is rotating 4 times faster than the driver gear. Let's say that the driven gear has 12 teeth. For every rotation of the 6 toothed idler gear, the driven gear rotates halfway.


What is idler gear?

An idler gear is a gear which connects two other gears so they will turn in the same direction. :)
