gears

Definition of gears in English English dictionary: Plural of gear; Wheel-like parts with teeth cut into the rim Meshing of the teeth of two gears enables one to drive the other, thus transmitting power; wheelwork consisting of a connected set of rotating gears by which force is transmitted or motion or torque is changed; "the fool got his tie caught in the geartrain"; Strictly speaking, these are the toothed, interlocking wheels that drive your machine heads In layman's terms, this is the mechanism that takes your twisting of the tuning pegs, turns it 90%, and applies to the tuning post so that it will wind on more or less of your strings; Mechanical devices containing teeth that mesh that transmit power, or turning force, from one shaft to another
bottom gears: The lower two or three gears (depending on total ratios available) of a gearbox, typically in a motor vehicle or cycle
gear: To fit with gears in order to achieve a desired gear ratio
gear: A configuration of the transmission of an motor car so as to achieve a particular ratio of engine to axle torque
gear: equipment or paraphernalia, especially that used for an athletic endeavor
gear: (mostly British (Scouse)) great or fantastic
grind one's gears: To annoy or irritate
It really grinds my gears when inconsiderate people litter.
low gears: The lower two or three gears (depending on total ratios available) of a gearbox, typically in a motor vehicle or cycle
second gears: plural form of second gear
shift gears: To change the gear by which motion is transmitted from a powered shaft to another shaft, especially in a motor vehicle
shift gears: To change pace or mode of operation
gear: {f} equip with gears; put into gear (Machinery); supply, equip; adjust, conform
gear: {v} to dress, deck, put harness on horses
gear: {n} accouterments, dress, traces, stuff, goods
Gear: gere
change gears: change the position of a transmission, change speeds
changed gears: changed the position of a transmission, changed speeds
gear: Anything worthless; stuff; nonsense; rubbish
gear: A moving part receiving or imparting force by means of teeth engaging with teeth of a similar or corresponding part
gear: A toothed wheel, or cogwheel; as, a spur gear, or a bevel gear; also, toothed wheels, collectively
gear: To provide with gearing
gear: An apparatus for performing a special function; gearing; as, the feed gear of a lathe
gear: If someone or something is geared to or towards a particular purpose, they are organized or designed in order to achieve that purpose. Colleges are not always geared to the needs of mature students My training was geared towards winning gold in Munich. be geared to sb/sth to be organized in a way that is suitable for a particular purpose or situation. Machine component consisting of a toothed wheel attached to a rotating shaft. Gears operate in pairs, the teeth of one engaging the teeth of a second, to transmit and modify rotary motion and torque. To transmit motion smoothly, the contacting surfaces of gear teeth must be carefully shaped to a specific profile. The smaller of a gear pair is often known as the pinion. If the pinion is on the driving shaft, the pair acts to reduce speed and to amplify torque; if the pinion is on the driven shaft, the pair acts to increase speed and reduce torque
gear: a particular combination or choice of interlocking gears, such that a particular gear ratio is achieved
gear: Business matters; affairs; concern
gear: a toothed wheel that engages another toothed mechanism in order to change the speed or direction of transmitted motion equipment consisting of miscellaneous articles needed for a particular operation or sport etc
gear: A large combat robot, standing between 3 and 8 meters in height Used extensively in the world of Terra Nova
gear: The "gear" of a bicycle relates to the mechanical advantage of the whole drive system In a low gear, the pedals are easy to turn, but you have to spin very fast to get any speed up In a high gear, the pedals are hard to turn, but you don't have to make them turn very fast to make the bicycle go fast The gear of a bicycle depends on the ratio between the sizes of the front and rear sprockets, and the size of the drive wheel If the bicycle is equipped with planetary gears, they also affect the gear There are several ways of designating gears numerically See gain ratios, gear inches, and development For information on using your bicycle's gears, see my article: Everything You Wanted to Know About Shifting Your Bicycle's Gears, But Were Afraid to Ask
gear: Any tools used to catch fish, such as hook and line, trawls, gill nets, traps, spears, etc
gear: general term that normally refers to a toothed wheel
gear: a toothed wheel that engages another toothed mechanism in order to change the speed or direction of transmitted motion
gear: A wheel with teeth that, when meshed with the teeth of another wheel, is able to transmit, modify, or change the direction of an applied force
gear: Goods; property; household stuff
gear: Manner; custom; behavior
gear: A special type of wheel and axle A gear is a wheel with teeth
gear: All of the lines used to haul a sail up to its yard These include clew lines, bunt lines, reef lines, and leech lines
gear: sometimes a word that means "all the equipment"
gear: A rotating wheel-like object with teeth around its rim A gear is used to transmit force to another gear with matching teeth A screw called a worm or a toothed shaft called a rack may replace one of the wheels Gears of different sizes can be used to change the speed of a mechanism If a gear with many teeth drives a gear with fewer teeth, there is an increase of speed If a gear with fewer teeth drives a gear with more teeth, there is a decrease in speed
gear: (n) A toothed wheel device that acts as a mechanical linkage to transmit power and motion between machine parts Most gears transfer rotary motion from one shaft to another They change the location and can change both the orientation and speed of the rotary motion Certain gear types transform rotary motion into linear (reciprocating) motion
gear: Whatever is prepared for use or wear; manufactured stuff or material
gear: a mechanism for transmitting motion by gears for some specific purpose (as the steering gear of a vehicle)
gear: See 1st Jeer (b)

gear: A general term that normally refers to either the spur gear and pinion gear
gear: Clothing; garments; ornaments
gear: To dress; to put gear on; to harness
gear: a toothed wheel that developed from the wheel and lever
