Hobart 00-068043 Flexa Gear, 540H150, M802/V1401

A gear or cogwheel is a rotating machine part having cut teeth or, in the case of a cogwheel, inserted teeth called cogs, which mesh with another toothed part to transmit torque. Geared devices can change the speed, torque, and direction of a power source. Gears almost always produce a change in torque, creating a mechanical advantage, through their gear ratio, and thus may be considered a simple machine. The teeth on the two meshing gears all have the same shape. Two or more meshing gears, working in a sequence, are called a gear train or a transmission. A gear can mesh with a linear toothed part, called a rack, producing translation instead of rotation. Specifications. Height 1.63 in.. Width 8 in.. Length 7 in.
