Horse gear

Horse gear
A conical gear is a type of gear mechanism that is used to transmit rotation from one shaft to another at an angle. Imagine two inclined surfaces, like two cones connected by teeth. They allow you to transmit movement and torque at an angle, which is very convenient for complex mechanisms.
Device and principle of operation
The conical gear is based on the principle of gearing. The teeth on the cones are fraught with each other, providing smooth and reliable transfer of rotation. It is important that the angle of inclination of cones determines the angle of rotation of the output shaft relative to the input. The larger the angle of inclination, the greater the angle of rotation. Since the cones have a different angle of inclination, the number of teeth also changes depending on this. The teeth on conical gears have a specific shape to ensure maximum strength and durability.
Application in everyday life
You may not even notice, but conical gears are used in a wide variety of mechanisms. They are found in cars (for example, in transmission, for turning wheels), in washing machines, printers, tools and many other devices. Due to their ability to transmit movement at an angle, they are indispensable components in mechanisms where complex turns and movements are required. For example, conical genees, invisible, but playing an important role, can be used in your computer or laptop. They guarantee the exact movement of the elements of the device and help in the performance of tasks.
Advantages and disadvantages
Concrete gears have high reliability and accuracy of rotation, which makes them indispensable for mechanisms, where constant and smooth movement is required. But, like any other mechanical elements, they have some restrictions. For example, they can be more complicated in manufacture than other types of gears. Also, depending on the specific parameters of the design, certain noise or vibrations occur. However, in most cases, these advantages outweigh potential disadvantages, making conical gears a very useful element in various technical devices.
