What is mechanical gear?
Gears are used to transfer motion and torque between machine components in mechanical devices. Depending on the design and construction of the gear pair employed, gears can change the direction of movement and/or increase the output speed or torque.
Which gear is the driving gear?
A small gear (Y) driving a larger gear (X) increases torque and reduces speed in the driven gear. Gears like these are called reducing gears. When the driving and the driven gears are the same size they are known as parallel gears….Transmissions.
| Speed Ratio | = | Number of Driver Gear Teeth |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Follower Gear Teeth |
What does a pinion gear do?
…of a gear pair (the pinion) is on the driving shaft, the pair acts to reduce speed and to amplify torque; if the pinion is on the driven shaft the pair acts as a speed increaser and a torque reducer.
What is a gear in technology?
A gear is a kind of machine element in which teeth are cut around cylindrical or cone shaped surfaces with equal spacing. By meshing a pair of these elements, they are used to transmit rotations and forces from the driving shaft to the driven shaft.
How do you calculate the speed of a gearbox?
Calculate the speed ratio of two gears by dividing the angular velocity of the output gear (represented numerically by the number of teeth) by the angular velocity of the input gear (represented numerically by the number of teeth).
Are 4.88 gears good for highway?
4.88 are great… but you’ll be reving it out on the freeway just to stay at speed. 4.56 are more “well rounded.”

What happens if I put bigger tires on my truck?
Larger tires used to be for off-road use or the specialty of gearheads. A larger tire size can make your truck look and perform better in some situations. But changing tire size too much can affect speedometer and odometer accuracy, handling, steering response as well as safety issues such as tire load capacity.
Do bigger tires affect suspension?
Whilst the bigger rims will look much nicer filling the arches, there still has to be room for the suspension to work. Going over bumps, a ‘washboardy’ dirt road or potholes causes your suspension to move up and down, absorbing the impact. If your wheels are way too big they might hit the inside of your wheel arch.
What’s the biggest tire size I can put on my truck?
On average, if your truck isn’t lifted, you can fit tires up to 33”. In case the vehicle is lifted, you can find a good set of 37” or larger tires to fit. However, to learn what your truck needs, you have to make some measurements.
