Gear Drive Systems

Which of the following information would you need to calculate the gear ratio of a given gear drive system?

• Root diameters of the drive and driven gears.

• Pitch diameter of the drive and driven gears.

• Base diameter of the driver and driven gears.

• Outer diameter of the drive and driven gears.

Which of the following is pitch diameter referring to?

• The actual diameter of each gear shaft.

• The actual diameter of the teeth of the gear.

• The theoretical diameter of the lowest point around the gear.

• The theoretical diameter of the pitch circle of the gear.

A spur gear drive transfers power between:

• Parallel shafts

• Angular shafts

• Perpendicular shafts

• All of the above.
