Principle of gear units

Gears are machine elements that are classified as transmission or conversion elements. They are responsible for transferring torque and speed between guiding members such as wheels or pulleys. The motion is transferred either by means of non-positive connections (with gears, friction wheel) or positive connections (with gears, toothed belts, chains).
