    Gear Train

    This document defines and describes different types of gear trains: 1) A gear train transmits power from one shaft to another using two or more meshing gears. There are four main types: simple, compound, reverted, and epicyclic. 2) A simple gear train has only one gear on each shaft. A compound gear train has more than one gear on a shaft to bridge space between driver and driven gears. 3) A reverted gear train has coaxial first and last gears, causing the first gear to drive the last in the same direction. An epicyclic gear train allows the gear axes to move relative to a fixed axis, like in a planet gear system.

    The key takeaways are the different types of gear trains: simple, compound, reverted and epicyclic gear trains.

    The different types of gear trains are: simple, compound, reverted and epicyclic gear trains.

    A simple gear train is when there is only one gear on each shaft that mesh with each other to transmit power from one shaft to another.

    Gear Train

    Gear Train
     Definition:
    When two or more gears are made to mesh with each
    other to transmit power from one shaft to another, such
    a combination is called ‘gear train or train of toothed
    wheels’.

     Types of gear trains:


    1. Simple gear train,
    2. Compound gear train,
    3. Reverted gear train, and
    4. Epicyclic gear train.
    Simple gear train
     Definition:
    When there is only one gear
    on each shaft as shown in
    fig., it is known as simple
    gear train.

    When the distance between


    two shafts is small, the two
    gears 1 and 2 are made to
    mesh with each other to
    transmit motion from one
    shaft to other as shown in fig.
    Since the gear 1 drives 2,
    therefore gear 1 is called the
    driver and the gear 2 is called
    Compound gear train
     Definition:
    When there are more than one gear
    a shaft as shown in fig., it is known
    as compound gear train.

    Compound gear trains are useful


    in bridging over the space between
    the driver and the driven.
    Reverted gear train
     Definition:
    When the axes of the first gear
    and the last gear are co-axial, then
    the gear train is known as
    reverted gear train as shown in
    figure.

    Here the gear 1 drives the gear 2 in


    the opposite direction.
    S i n c e t h e g e a r 2 a n d 3 f o r m a
    compound gear and the gear 3 will
    rotate in the same direction as of
    gear 2.
    the gear 3 will drive the gear 4 in the
    same direction as of gear 1.
    hence the motion of the first gear
    Epicyclic gear train
    In an epicyclic gear train, the axes
    of the shafts, over which the gears
    are mounted, may move relative to
    a fixed axis.
    A simple epicyclic gear train is
    shown in figure.
    When a gear 1 and arm 3 and gear
    2 and arm 3 have a common axis.
    If the arm is fixed, the gear train is
    simple and gear 1 can drive gear 2
    or vice-versa, but is gear 1 is fixed
    and the arm is rotated about the
    axis then the gear 2 is forced to
    rotate upon and around the gear 1.
    Such a motion is called epicyclic.
