The two most relevant measurements, however, are the root radius and the addendum radius. The root radius is the distance from the center of the gear to the base of the teeth while the addendum radius also called the "pitch" radius is the distance from the center of the gear to the outside of the teeth.

Teeth: The teeth are the portion of the gear that makes contact with another gear. In order for two gears to mesh together the pitch must be the same for all mating pairs. The pitch of a gear is the distance between equivalent points of adjacent teeth. Gears can serve as an efficient means to reverse the direction of motion, change rotational speed, or to change which axis the rotary motion is occurring on.

The sizes of the gears usually depend on the desired gear ratio and the shaft upon which the gears will be mated. Any two gears that come into contact with one another will naturally produce an equal and opposite force in the other gear. For example, as the smaller gear pictured below moves clockwise, the larger gear will naturally move counter-clockwise.

Any shaft attached to the respective gear will rotate in the direction of the gear it is attached to. Rotational speed is adjusted through the use of a "gear ratio. It can also commonly defined as the number of teeth on the input gear to the number of teeth on the output gear.

The larger the gear ratio the more the output rotation will slow. The smaller the gear ratio the more the output rotation's angular velocity will increase. Gear ratios farther from "1" means that the disparity between the gear sizes will be greater. Read more on gear ratios below. When discussing a pair of gears, the smaller gear is considered the pinion while the larger is considered the "gear.

Perhaps the most common gear for changing rotational axis is the bevel gear seen below. The bevel gear is commonly used in vehicle differentials to rotate the motion provided by the engine 90 degrees in order to drive the wheels along their proper axis.

Spur Gear The most common type of gear is a spur gear. Spur gears have teeth that protrude outward from the perimeter of the gear. They are mounted on parallel axes and can be used to create a wide range of gear ratios. Double-thick face width provides added tooth strength. Metal Square Hole Inserts prevent axles from "stripping". Use metal pinions for high strength where it counts. Use the round-hole inserts to build free spinning idler gears.

Build gearboxes that resist high shock-loads. Bolt Gears together for added strength. Rack Gears can be used to turn rotary motion into linear motion. Use any VEX spur gear as a pinion to drive these rack gears. Stack multiple rack gears back to back for longer motions. Each Rack Gear includes 3 threaded inserts on their back face. Mount these similar to VEX motors or servos with screws. Available while supplies last. Create Linear Motion with the Rack Gears. Transfer Motion 90 degrees with Bevel Gears.
