ABSTRACT
Gears are mechanical components used to transmit motion from one shaft to another. In Chapters 3 and 4, gears have been introduced in the planar five-bar mechanism. By including a gear pair, as illustrated in Figure 3.4, or a gear train (three or more gears), as illustrated in Figure 4.13, to interconnect the driving links of this mechanism, the rotation of link a0−a1 is transmitted to link b0−b1.
