ülekandesuhtega

Ülekandesuhtega, often translated as gear ratio, is a fundamental concept in mechanical engineering that describes the relationship between the rotational speeds of two connected gears or other rotating components. It quantifies how many times one shaft must turn for the other shaft to complete one full rotation. Mathematically, the gear ratio is typically calculated by dividing the number of teeth on the driven gear by the number of teeth on the driving gear. Alternatively, it can be expressed as the ratio of the angular velocity of the driving shaft to the angular velocity of the driven shaft.

A gear ratio greater than one indicates that the driven gear rotates slower than the driving gear, but with increased torque. This is commonly used in applications requiring more force, such as in the transmission of a vehicle to start from a standstill or climb a steep incline. Conversely, a gear ratio less than one means the driven gear rotates faster than the driving gear, but with reduced torque. This is beneficial for increasing speed, such as in the higher gears of a car. A gear ratio of exactly one signifies that both gears rotate at the same speed and with the same torque. Understanding and manipulating the ülekandesuhtega is crucial for designing efficient and effective power transmission systems in a wide range of machinery.
