Gears Spur Gears: Picture Name Usage

The document describes different types of gears and their uses, including spur gears, bevel gears, crown gears, worm gears, knob gears, racks, differentials, gear boxes, and chain links. Spur and bevel gears are used to change rotational speed or force, with bevel gears also able to mesh at 90 degree angles. Crown gears flip spur gears 90 degrees, while worm gears are used in gearboxes or racks. Racks convert rotational motion from gears to linear motion. Differentials allow two axles to turn at different speeds, and gearboxes connect gears to increase torque but reduce speed. Chain links are used to make chains.
