Gear
A gear is a component within a
transmission device that transmits
rotational force to another gear or device. A gear is different from a
pulley in that a gear is a round wheel which has linkages ("teeth" or "cogs") that mesh with other gear teeth, allowing force to be fully transferred without slippage. Depending on their construction and arrangement, geared devices can transmit forces at different
speeds,
torques, or in a different direction, from the power source. Gears are a very useful simple machine.
