Gears can be used to transfer rotary motion. As well as being used for transfer purposes, the gear can also modify speed, torque and direction of rotation. Gears are used in gear drives. If the teeth are evenly distributed over the circumference of a wheel, we call this a gear wheel. If the teeth are paired, they form a gear drive. Gear drives are mainly needed for transfer between two rotations or a rotation and a linear movement.
