A MOTION TRANSMISSION SYSTEM is a set of components that performs the function of transmitting motion.
Characteristics of motion in transmission systems
1. Gear Trains
Direction of rotation: Alternates from one gear to another
Reversibility: YES
2. Chain and sprocket system
DiRECTION OF ROTATION: Depending of the configuration, identical only for sprockets touching the same side of the chain
REVERSIBILITY: YES
3. Worm gear system
DIRECTION OF ROTATION: Varies with the direction of the threads on the worm scew shaft
REVERSIBILITY: No
4. Friction gears system
DIRECTION OF ROTATION: Alternates from one gear to another
REVERSIBILITY: YES
5.- Belt and pulleys systems
DIRECTION OF ROTATION:Depending on the configuration, identical only for pulleys touching the same side of the belt
REVERSIBILITY: YES
