Gears
Helical Gear
Helical Gears are cylindrical gears with helicoid teeth. The angled teeth of these gears result in a gentler engagement, resulting in the gears running quieter and smoother.
Planetory Gear
Planetary Gear systems consists of one or more outer planet gears revolving around a sun gear. The planet gears are usually mounted to a movable arm which then rotates relative to the sun gear.
Rack and Pinion Gears
The rack gear is a linear shaped gear which can mesh with a spur gear. The pinion gear is a cylindrical gear which engages the teeth of the Rack gear. Together, the Rack and Pinion Gear converts the rotational motion applied to the pinion into linear motion, like turning the wheel of a car to move left or right.
Pinion Shaft
The pinion shaft is a major component for gear train assemblies. The shaft transfers the input of a drive shaft to generate work for the rest of the gears.
Spur Gear
They are cylindrical gears with teeth arranged parallel to their axis. They are the most common type of gears available.
Sun Gear
Sun gear is typically a central mounted circular gear around which the planetary gears rotate.

Worm Shaft
The worm shaft is a cylindrical gear with meshes along the diameter, resembling a screw thread. The worm wheel is a helical gear designed to envelope the worm shaft. A Worm gear system offers a very large gear ratio in a single thread.

Internal Gear
Internal gear or a hub gear is a commonly used gear ratio changing system. A basic 3 gear hub consists of a single sun gear in the middle.
Straight Bevel
Straight Bevel gears are used to change the direction of a shaft’s rotation. Typically, in a straight Bevel arrangement, the teeth are arranged similar to spur gears but they are usually placed at 90 degrees to each other.
