In summary, Gear's Torque is a measure of the force that causes rotational motion in a gear system and is calculated by multiplying the applied force and the distance from the center of rotation. The torque is inversely proportional to gear size, meaning that as the gear size increases, the torque decreases. In a small to big gear system, the torque decreases and the speed increases, while in a big to big gear system, the torque and speed have a one-to-one ratio. Gear ratio, which is the ratio of the number of teeth on the driven gear to the number of teeth on the driving gear, affects the torque by multiplying or dividing it depending on whether the gear ratio is greater or less than 1.

Hello
so here is the problem that I'm confused with:
let's say...

Will a torque produced by a 20 teeth(force is exerted to this one) to 60 teeth gear be the same torque compared to a 60 teeth(force is exerted to this one) to a 60 teeth gear.

My torque is infinite, my friend.

Calculate the effective radius of the contact points on the theeth of the two gears, and use your knowledge of lever arms.

What is Gear's Torque?

Gear's Torque is a measure of the force that causes rotational motion in a gear system. It is calculated as the product of the force applied to the gear and the distance from the center of rotation.

How does gear size affect torque?

In a gear system, the torque is inversely proportional to the gear size. This means that as the gear size increases, the torque decreases. This is because a larger gear has a greater distance from the center of rotation, resulting in a smaller force required to produce the same amount of torque.

What is the difference between small to big and big to big gear torque?

In a small to big gear system, the torque is transferred from a smaller gear to a larger gear. This results in a decrease in torque but an increase in speed. In a big to big gear system, the torque is transferred between two equally-sized gears, resulting in a one-to-one ratio of torque and speed.

How does gear ratio affect torque?

Gear ratio is the ratio of the number of teeth on the driven gear to the number of teeth on the driving gear. In a gear system, the gear ratio affects the torque by multiplying or dividing the torque depending on whether the gear ratio is greater or less than 1. A gear ratio greater than 1 will decrease the torque but increase the speed, while a gear ratio less than 1 will increase the torque but decrease the speed.

What is the importance of torque in gear systems?

Torque is an important factor in gear systems as it determines the amount of force needed to rotate the gears and the resulting speed of the system. It also helps to maintain the stability and efficiency of the system by ensuring that the gears do not slip or lose contact with each other.
