In daily life and industry, gears have the following functions according to their working principles:
1: Gears can transmit mechanical power, such as car shifting devices, industrial gearboxes, etc.
2: Gears can change the direction of movement, such as mechanical watches, shaking head devices in electric fans, etc.
3: Gears can reduce speed and increase torque, such as motor reducer, various speed change mechanisms, etc. The commonly used gear materials are steel, cast iron and non-metallic materials.
