Throughout this site we use many technical terms, and given the breadth of readership our site enjoys, sometimes we are remiss and incorrectly assume everyone knows what we are referring to. For those that do not, here are some explanations of the technical terms use.
Gear Wheel (or geared wheel)
A metal or fibre wheel having suitably contoured teeth on its periphery to mesh with a similar mating wheel of any diameter. This action provides torque transference from one shaft to another, parallel or angled to the former, reversal of torque, or possibly altering the speed and direction of rotation and the torque.
