Gear Ratio
Gear Ratio
What is gear ratio?
The speed of a gear
The size of a gear
The ratio of input speed to output speed in a gear system
The number of teeth on a gear
Which gear ratio represents a gear reduction?
1:1
2:1
1:2
3:1
What is the formula for calculating gear ratio?
Number of teeth on driven gear / Number of teeth on driving gear
Number of teeth on driving gear / Number of teeth on driven gear
Number of teeth on driving gear * Number of teeth on driven gear
Number of teeth on driven gear - Number of teeth on driving gear
What is the gear ratio if the driving gear has 20 teeth and the driven gear has 40 teeth?
0.5

What is the relationship between gear ratio and speed?
Higher gear ratio means higher speed
Lower gear ratio means higher speed
Gear ratio does not affect speed
Gear ratio is inversely proportional to speed
Which gear ratio represents a gear increase?
1:1
2:3
1:2

What is the purpose of a gear ratio in a machine?
To increase the size of a gear
To decrease the speed of a gear
To increase the speed of a gear
To transfer power and change speed in a gear system
What happens to torque in a gear system with a gear reduction?
Torque increases
Torque decreases
Torque remains the same
Torque is not affected by gear ratio
What is the gear ratio if the driving gear has 10 teeth and the driven gear has 30 teeth?
