#gear_wheel__gear__cogwheel a toothed wheel that engages another toothed mechanism in order to change the speed or direction of transmitted motion
supertype: #wheel a simple machine consisting of a circular frame with spokes (or a solid disc) that can rotate on a shaft or axle (as in vehicles or other machines)
part: #cog #tooth_projection_on_a_gear
subtype: #bevel_gear__bevelgear__pinionandcrownwheel__pinion_and_ring_gear gears that mesh at an angle
subtype: #differential_gear__differential a bevel gear that permits rotation of two shafts at different speeds; used on the rear axle of automobiles to allow wheels to rotate at different speeds on curves
subtype: #escape_wheel gear that engages a rocking lever
subtype: #pinion a gear with a small number of teeth designed to mesh with a larger wheel or rack
subtype: #lantern_pinion__lanternpinion__lantern_wheel__lanternwheel a small pinion having cylindrical bars instead of teeth, used chiefly in inexpensive clocks
subtype: #planetary_gear__planetarygear__epicyclic_gear__epicyclicgear__planet_wheel__planet_gear an outer gear that revolves about a central sun gear of an epicyclic train
subtype: #rack_and_pinion a wheel gear (the pinion) meshes with a toothed rack; converts rotary to reciprocating motion (and vice versa)
subtype: #spur_gear__spur_wheel gear wheels that mesh in the same plane
subtype: #sun_gear__sungear the central gear in a epicyclic train
subtype: #worm_gear gear consisting of a shaft with screw thread (the worm) that meshes with a toothed wheel (the worm wheel); changes the direction of the axis of rotary motion
subtype: #worm_wheel gear with the thread of a worm
