How does a gear train work?

A number of gears grouped into a single unit is called 'gear train'.If two gear's in mesh eg, a drive gear and a driven gear also constitute a gear train which are called simple gear train and in the simplest form.simple gear train may have more than two gear's.compound,epicyclic,reverted are some other types of gear train's.


What is the deferent between gear and gear train?

When gear is explained in connection with gear train, it is an individual member of a gear train. That is a gear train a power transmision system containing two or more gears.


Why might compound gear train be better than two gears alone?

Because the speed is decreased less from an equal gear ratio.


What three gears make up a complete planetary gear system?

The gears in a planetary gear system are the drive gear, ring gear, and planetary gear.


How many gear boxes are there in a train?

thr r 2000 gears


What are idler gears and why they are used in the gear train?

a gear in Ur gear box witch allows for a means of reverse


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!!).


What is a compound gear?

A compound gear train connects gears that may share axles or shafts, basically two gears rotating on the same axle, not necessarily at the same speed.


What simple machine is a engine gears?

Gears working together can be a simple machine in themselvesA Gear Train is a complex machine made up of wheel, axles and gears


What is it called when gears fit loosely together or if thereis any hesitation when the gear train starts to move?

excessive gear lash.


What is the formula to get the gear ratio of a compound planetary gear train?

Determine the ratio's of the simple gears in the train and multiply them together for the final ratio. Ex: You have two simple gears in the train one of a 3:1 and the othe is 5:1. 3:1 X 5:1 = 15:1


What is an easy way to explain a compound gear train?

A compound gear train consists of multiple sets of gears connected in series or parallel to transmit motion or power. By combining different gears with varying sizes or numbers of teeth, a compound gear train can achieve specific gear ratios and torque outputs for different needs. This arrangement is often used in machines and vehicles to optimize speed and force transmission.
