Control gears are also Known as variable or change gears. They are characterized by the fact that the speed is transferred differently via various pairs of gear wheels. The most famous example is the transmission in a car which has one pair of gear wheels for each “gear”. This unit provides different configurations of control gears which serve as an introduction to gear Engineering. The unit focuses in particular on the practical assembly of gear components. The exercise system can be used to configure six different gears in various combinations. The setup of the component is flexible so that you can configure your own ideas and try out different gears. Individual activities such as understanding the task and reading the drawing assembling the components adjusting calibrating and checking the gear and performing calculations are performed one after the other. The unit is driven by a hand crank. A solid frame made of square steel tubes and various bearings ensures sufficient accuracy to be able to set precise tooth interlocking. All components of the exercise system are ready at the hand.
