Q

Gears serve four-fold purpose:

A

(1) gears transmit positive motion
(2) gears are used to drive a second part or mechanism in the same or opposite direction to that of the motor or other driving force; (3) gears are used to actuate a second gear or part at the same speed, slower or fastest than driver; (4) gears may be used to increase or decrease force

17
Q

With a odd number of gears in a simple gear train.

A

The driver and the driver gears rotate in the same direction.

18
Q

The length of the slope

A

Is the effort distance (ED)

19
Q

Screw threads are used

A

(1) to transmit motion
(2) to apply tremendous force with comparatively little effort
(3) to hold parts together
(4) to obtain measurements

Q

Most screw threads are said

A

to have a definite number of threads per inch.
