Identify the gear train shown in the given figure.

Explanation:

Gear Train:

Sometimes, two or more gears are made to mesh with each other to transmit power from one shaft to another. Such a combination is called a gear train.

They can be of many types:

• Simple Gear Train
• Compound Gear Train
• Reverted Gear Train
• Epicyclic Gear Train

Reverted Gear train:

• When the axes of the first gear (i.e. first driver) and the last gear (i.e. last driven or follower) are co-axial, then the gear train is known as a reverted gear train.
• The motion of the first gear and the last gear is like.
• The reverted gear trains are used in automotive transmissions, lathe back gears, industrial speed reducers, and clocks.

Simple Gear Train:

• When every gear axes are fixed relative to the fixed frame and, there is only one gear on each shaft.
• The number of shafts may be any.

Compound Gear Train:

• When any shaft has more than one gear (first shaft or second shaft or intermediate shaft) i.e. two gear have the same angular velocity, the gear drive is called a compound gear train. 

Epicyclic gear train:

• When the gear train is having a relative motion of axes it is called the epicyclic gear train.
• The axis of at least one of the gears also moves relative to the frame.
