External and Ring Gears the external gears (外齿 轮)：the teeth are formed on the outside of the cylinder. internal or ring gears(内齿轮) the teeth are located on the inside. 6 Introduction to Engineering
6 Introduction to Engineering External and Ring Gears the external gears （外齿 轮） : the teeth are formed on the outside of the cylinder. internal or ring gears（内齿轮）: the teeth are located on the inside
Pinion, Gear and Mesh When two gears having complementary teeth engage and motion is fransmitted form one shaft to another,the two gears are said to form a gearset(齿轮对) Pinion(小齿轮)：the smaller (driving)gear in the gearset is called the pinion. Gear(大齿轮)：the other (driven)one. AAA-上AAAA The pinion and gear are said to mesh(啮合)at the point where the teeth approach,contact one another and then separate. pinion gear Pitch circles Introduction to Engineering

Terms of Spur Gearset The pinion and gear are regarded as two cylinders that are pressed against one another and smoothly roll together. For two external gears,the cylinders roll on the outside of one another For one internal gear and one external gear,the cylinders roll within the other Introduction to Engineering

For one internal gear and one external gear, the cylinders roll within the other For two external gears, the cylinders roll on the outside of one another
Pitch Circle(节圆) Continuous contact between the pinion and gear is imagined to take place on the two pitch circles. Pitch circle 9 Introduction to Engineering
