It is called a gear tooth. There can be many types of teeth based on the gear design; such as spur, helical, straight bevel, spiral bevel, hypoid, and several others.

What is the term that compares the number of teeth on a driving gear to the number of teeth on the driven gear?

The term that compares the number of teeth on a driving gear to the number of teeth on the driven gear is called the "gear ratio." It is expressed as a ratio of the number of teeth, indicating how many times the driving gear must rotate to turn the driven gear once. This ratio is crucial in determining the mechanical advantage and speed of the gear system.

What determines rear axle ratio?

The # of teeth on the ring gear and the pinion gear. There is always more teeth on the ring gear then the pinion gear. And the way you determine the gear ratio is devide the # of teeth that's on the pinion gear into the # of teeth that's on the ring gear and that will be the gear ratio. The 4 gears that are the same size and run together is called the spider gears. Do not count those gears they have nothing to do with the gear RATIO.

What are gear ratios?

The gear ratio is the number of teeth in the driven gear divided by the number of teeth in the drive gear.


What gear turns another gear?

A gear that turns another gear is called a "driving gear." When the driving gear rotates, its teeth engage with the teeth of the adjacent "driven gear," causing it to rotate as well. This interaction allows for the transfer of motion and torque between the two gears, enabling machines and mechanisms to function efficiently. The size and number of teeth on each gear determine the speed and force of the motion transmitted.


What is the formula to calculate gear ratio?

Number of teeth on driven gear divided by teeth on driven gear. Example: 40 teeth on a ring gear and 10 teeth on a pinion will be a 4.00:1 ratio.
