Homework 1.3

This document provides a table summarizing the main characteristics, advantages, disadvantages, and applications of different types of gears: spur gears, helical gears, bevel gears, worm gears, and rack and pinion gears. Spur gears have straight parallel teeth and offer constant velocity but are slow. Helical gears have better grip than spur gears and are quieter. Bevel gears allow power transfer between intersecting shafts. Worm gears allow non-reversible rotation between perpendicular axes. Rack and pinion gears convert rotational to linear motion. Each gear type has advantages for certain applications.
