Measurement of Gear Tooth Profile using Gear Tooth Vernier and Gear Tooth Micrometer
Introduction
System description
Gears are toothed wheel that are used to transmit motion from one shaft to another shaft. Gears are generally used for following different reasons:
1. To increase or decrease the speed of rotation
2. To change the amount of force or torque
3. To move rotational motion to a different axis (i.e. parallel, right angles, rotating, linear etc.)
4. To reverse the direction of rotation.
