Gears tutorials include base steps: How to create gear connections in Mechanism mode and definition of gear properties, analysis and animation.
You can capture the following motion relationships using generic gears:
- Rotational/Rotational
- Rotational/Linear
- Linear/Rotational
- Linear/Linear
Examples of the four dynamic gear types include:
- Spur — Two meshing gears rotating on parallel axes
- Bevel — A pinion gear driving a crown gear on perpendicular axes
- Rack and Pinion — A pinion gear meshing with a sliding rack gear
- Worm — A worm shaft rotating a pinion on perpendicular axes
