  • Helical Gears: Works quieter, can transfer higher loads.
  • Bevel Gears: Transmits movement at 90 degrees or different angles.
  • Rack and Pinion: Converts rotary motion into linear motion.
  • Worm and Worm Wheel System: Provides large speed reduction and high torque transmission, usually used in lift or crane mechanisms.
