It is possible using flat belts as they can be wide to provide torque and have great bending characteristics to accommodate the twist.

What is the function of an automobile transmission?

Without a transmission a car will not run. The function is to transmit engine power to the wheels via a system of gears.


What uses a series of gears to adjust the output speed of the engine?

The transmission uses a series of gears to transmit power to facilitate changes in speed .


How are gear chains used in mechanical systems to transmit power and motion efficiently?

Gear chains are used in mechanical systems to transmit power and motion efficiently by transferring rotational energy from one component to another. The teeth on the gears interlock, allowing for a smooth and continuous transfer of power without slippage. This results in a reliable and efficient way to transmit power and motion within a mechanical system.


What are the three main functions that gears perform in a mechanical system?

Transmit rotation, power, and change "input to output" ratio's.


Is there a mechanism that can be used to convert rotary to motion at right angles?

Bevel gears can transmit motion/power at right angles.


If the motor makes 400 revolutions every minute how fast does the wheel rotate in RPM?

That depends on the relative sizes of the gear shafts used to transmit power from the motor to the wheel. For instance, if they were the same size, and no gears in between, then the wheel would rotate 400 times a minute (RPM), which is 6.66 times a second. But usually gears transmit power in such a way that the wheel rotates slower than the motor (less RPM) but with more power.


How do gears in a clock work?

Gears in a clock help regulate the movement of the hands by transferring power from the main spring or weight to the escapement mechanism. The gear train controls the speed at which the hands move by using different sized gears to create the appropriate ratio of rotations between the hour, minute, and second hands. As the gears turn, they transmit power throughout the clock to ensure accurate timekeeping.


What was built with a gear in it?

Almost everything! Watches, cars, toy cars, robots, most machines, most mechanical object use gears to transmit motion and power.


What is the degree for a number without a variable?

anything without a variable is to the first power. To find the degree, you look at what the power of the number is and that will be the degree. The degree is the number of times your coefficient is a factor. Since the exponent is one, so is the degree. Ex. 2x squared = 2nd degree


What is the science behind gears?

Gears are mechanical devices that transmit motion and power by meshing teeth or cogs. They work based on the principles of torque, speed, and force. The relationship between the size and number of teeth on interacting gears determine the gear ratio, which affects the speed and force of rotation.


What is an idle gear?

An Idler Gear is usually used to maintain a stable tension on a belt or chain, OR it is used to redirect the position of the belt or chain. An idler gear transmits no power to or from the belt or chain.
