Basic Types MITER GEARS • GEAR WITH TEETH ON A 45 DEGREE SLANTED ANGLE • ENABLES MESHING OF TEETH AT A 90 DEGREE INTERSECTION • GEARS MUST BE EXACTLY THE SAME MVRT115
Basic Types SPUR GEARS • WORK WITH RACK TO PROVIDE HORIZONTAL MOTION MVRT115
Basic Types WORM GEAR • RESEMBLES A CYLINDER ITH THREADS RUNNING LENGTH-WISE VS. DIAMETER-WISE • CANNOT BE TURNED BY OTHER NORMAL GEARS (PREVENTS BACKDRIVE) • GENERALLY DOES NOT CHANGE GEAR RATIO VERY MUCH IF AT ALL MVRT115
