What else can I help you with?
Why is a doorknob easier to turn than an axle?
A doorknob has a larger radius, which creates distance from the axis of rotation, allowing for more torque to be applied with less force. An axle typically does not have the same leverage, making it harder to turn with the same force.
If the driving wheel and the driven wheel of a gear system are of the same size which gear will move faster?
The driving wheel will move faster because some energy is always lost in energy transfer.
What happens when two exact sized gears are meshed together?
When two exact sized gears are meshed together, they will rotate at the same speed and in opposite directions. This creates a 1:1 gear ratio, meaning that for every revolution of one gear, the other gear will also complete one revolution. The teeth on the gears interlock to transfer motion and torque between them efficiently.
Can a small force ever exert a greater torque than a larger force?
Of course. Torque is the product of the (force) times (its distance from the axle). If the force you have doesn't produce enough torque, you simply apply the same force farther from the axle, and that increases the torque. That's why, if you can't crack the nut with the wrench you have and the strength you have, you slip a piece of pipe over the handle and make the wrench look twice as long. In that way, you have temporarily transformed the wrench into a "Persuader", and the nut is highly likely then to be persuaded. If you can arrange for the small force to be exerted at a long enough distance from the axle, it can apply as much or more torque than the larger force can when applied closer in.
When do two gears rotate in the same direction or in the opposite direction?
Two gears rotate in the same direction when they are both either on the same side of the gear train (parallel arrangement) or they have the same number of teeth. They rotate in the opposite direction when one gear is driving another gear and they have a different number of teeth.
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 is the axle torque on a Ford Freestar?
2007 Freestar torque is 111 lb. ft / 150nm. on the front axle wheel end nut, as per the 2007 Ford repair manual. I would think the 2004-2006 would be the same since it is basically the same car.
Do the Gears in a Belt Drive Move in the Same Direction?
In a belt drive system, the gears do not move in the same direction. When one gear (the driver) rotates, it causes the belt to move in one direction, which in turn makes the other gear (the driven) rotate in the opposite direction. This is due to the nature of how belts wrap around the gears.
How do you think the axle radius will affect the effort needed to turn the wheel?
The axle radius significantly affects the effort needed to turn the wheel due to the principles of leverage and torque. A larger axle radius increases the torque applied to the wheel for a given force, making it easier to turn. Conversely, a smaller axle radius requires more effort to achieve the same torque, resulting in a greater effort needed to turn the wheel. Therefore, a larger axle radius generally reduces the effort required to turn the wheel.
What are the torque specs for the front drive axle nut and lower control arm on a 2000 Saturn SL2?
'97 sunfire axle nut is 195 ft-lbs. Should be the same for Saturn

What are torque settings for 2004 Mazda 3 axle bolt?
I dunno. But some stupid 2005's have the same bolt (like mine!).
Which is greater the Torque of the engine or the Torque of the wheels in order for the car to move?
The torque would be the same, as torque measures the rotational force between the two objects, not necessarily the output at either end.
What is a example of compound gear?
A compound gear is a gear system that combines two or more gears on the same shaft, allowing for a change in speed and torque. An example of a compound gear is the gear train found in a bicycle’s transmission, where multiple gears are mounted on a single axle, enabling the rider to shift efficiently between different gear ratios for optimal pedaling. This setup enhances mechanical advantage and allows for smoother transitions in speed and power transfer.
If the driving wheel and the driven wheel of a gear system are of the same size which gear will move faster?
The driving wheel will move faster because some energy is always lost in energy transfer.
What are 1996 Jeep Cherokee axles torque specs?
For a 1996 Jeep Cherokee, the torque specifications for the front axle differential cover bolts are typically around 25-30 ft-lbs. For the rear axle, the differential cover bolts generally fall within the same range. It's essential to consult the vehicle's service manual for the most accurate specifications, as they can vary based on specific axle types and configurations. Always use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightness and prevent damage.
What is a idler gear?
It changes the direction of movement in a gear system, so that the driver and driven gears move in the same direction.
