Gear definitions

The definition of a gear is a simple machine with teeth that increases the force needed to push or pull something.

Gear means to make ready or prepare.

Gear is defined as clothing or equipment needed for something specific.

Gears can increase speed, increase force or change direction.

A gear is a simple, rotating machine which usually has teeth (cogs).

When they connect to another gear, they transmit torque, which is like a twisting force.

When two gears work together, it is called a transmission.

Not all gears have teeth. In a rack and pinion gear, the pinion is the gear wheel and it meshes with the rack, which is a long bar with cogs.

Equipment, such as tools or clothing, used for a particular activity.

The harness for a horse.

A toothed machine part, such as a wheel or cylinder, that meshes with another toothed part to transmit motion or to change speed or direction.

A complete assembly that performs a specific function in a larger machine.

A transmission configuration for a specific ratio of engine to axle torque in a motor vehicle.

Clothing and accessories.

Personal belongings, including clothing.

A ship's rigging.

A sailor's personal effects.

To adjust or adapt so as to make suitable.

To provide with gear; equip.

To equip with gears.

To connect by gears.

To put into gear.

To come into or be in gear.

To shift a transmission.

To become adjusted so as to fit or blend.

Movable property; esp., apparatus or equipment for some particular task, as a workman's tools, the rigging of a ship, a harness, etc.

The clothing and equipment of a soldier, knight, etc.

Clothing; apparel.

A toothed wheel, disk, etc. designed to mesh with another or with the thread of a worm.

A system of two or more gears meshed together so that the motion of one controls the speed and torque of another.

A specific adjustment of such a system.

Any part of a mechanism performing a specific function.

Highly acceptable, attractive, etc.

To furnish with gear; harness.

To adapt (one thing) so as to conform with another.

To connect by gears.

To furnish with gears.

To put into gear.

To be in, or come into, proper adjustment or working order.

A wheel with teeth around its rim that mesh with the teeth of another wheel to transmit motion. Gears are used to transmit power (as in a car transmission) or change the direction of motion in a mechanism (as in a differential axle). Fixed ratios of speed in various parts of a machine is often established by the arrangement of gears.

Clothing; garments.

(countable) A wheel with grooves (teeth) engraved on the outer circumference, such that two such devices can interlock and convey motion from one to the other.

(slang) Recreational drugs.

(engineering, intransitive) To be in, or come into, gear.

To dress; to put gear on; to harness.
