2. Worm drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worm_drive

   Therefore, regardless of the worm's size (sensible engineering limits notwithstanding), the gear ratio is the "size of the worm wheel - to - 1". Given a single-start worm, a 20-tooth worm wheel reduces the speed by the ratio of 20:1. With spur gears, a gear of 12 teeth must match with a 240-tooth gear to achieve the same 20:1 ratio.

3. Gear train - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gear_train

   For example, a transmission with an engine shaft to drive shaft ratio of 4:1 in first gear and 2:1 in second gear would be considered wide-ratio when compared to another transmission with a ratio of 4:1 in first and 3:1 in second. This is because the close-ratio transmission has less of a progression between gears.

4. Close-ratio transmission - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-ratio_transmission

   The designation of wide versus close ratio affected the lowest gear ratio; for example, the four-speed Muncie transmissions offered in General Motors performance vehicles included the M20 "wide ratio" transmission, which had a first gear ratio of 2.52 or 2.56:1, while the M21 and M22 "close ratio" transmissions had a first gear ratio of 2.20:1.

5. Strain wave gearing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_Wave_Gearing

   High gear reduction ratios are possible in a small volume (a ratio from 30:1 up to 320:1 is possible in the same space in which planetary gears typically only produce a 10:1 ratio). Disadvantages include a tendency for 'wind-up' (a torsional spring rate) in the low torque region.

6. Turndown ratio - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turndown_ratio

   Turndown ratio refers to the width of the operational range of a device, and is defined as the ratio of the maximum capacity to minimum capacity. For example, a device with a maximum output of 10 units and a minimum output of 2 units has a turndown ratio of 5. The term is commonly used with measurement devices and combustion plant like boilers ...

7. Transmission (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_(mechanical...

   A transmission (also called a gearbox) is a mechanical device which uses a gear set—two or more gears working together—to change the speed, direction of rotation, or torque multiplication/reduction in a machine. [1] [2] Transmissions can have a single fixed-gear ratio, multiple distinct gear ratios, or continuously variable ratios. Variable ...
