Without the teeth meshing together, there would be no transfer of power/force from one pinion/spur wheel to its neighbour. Without the teeth on the main drive shaft gear wheel, you would not be able to turn the rest of the pinion and spur wheels.

In a bevel gear is the torque increased decreased or constant?

There are 3 possibilities:-1) If the pinion has less teeth than the wheel - torque is increased.2) If the pinion has more teeth than the wheel - torque is decreased.3) If the pinion has the same number of teeth as the wheel - torque is constant.


Hit a curb- steering wheel off center at first- but more importantly the wheel doesnt lock when i turn it full one direction or another- it pops and turns some more- ideas as to why?

The Steering locks might be damaged in the rack and pinion or the teeth them selves in the rack and pinion could be stripped Also the problem might be in the steering linkage going to the rack and pinion.

Interference in involute teeth in gears?

Interference in involute teeth in gears occurs when the teeth profiles unexpectedly collide, leading to jamming and inefficiencies. This can happen if the gear teeth are poorly designed or if the gears are not properly aligned. To avoid interference, ensure that the gear teeth profiles are designed correctly and that the gears are set up to avoid misalignment during operation.


What is the explanation for the rear axle ratio?

Axle ratio is determined by the number of teeth on the crown gear and the number of teeth on the pinion gear. A 3.55 ratio for example means the pinion gear rotates 3.55 times to every one rotation of the crown gear. If you are going straight , the drive shaft will turn 3.55 times to one rotation of the wheel.

How does rack and pinion steering work?

Very simply. Inside the steering unit, there is a rod called a rack. It has vertical teeth on it like an upside down handsaw. In the column is a shaft with a gear on the end of it called a pinion. It's similar to the pinion gear in a rear axle. When you turn the wheel, the pinion gear makes the rack move sideways. This gives very precise steering to a car. Need a link to more information? And pictures? You got it.


Why pinion wheel is smaller than spur wheel?

The pinion wheel is smaller than the spur wheel to achieve a mechanical advantage in gear systems. The smaller size of the pinion allows it to rotate faster than the larger spur wheel, resulting in an increase in speed while reducing torque. This size differential is essential for applications requiring changes in speed and torque, enabling efficient power transmission in machinery. Additionally, using a smaller pinion helps minimize space and weight in gear assemblies.
