The Mechanical Dentures!

This is my entry for this week's Macro Mondays challenge, Cogwheel.

 

It is nearly impossible to imagine our lives without some form of cogwheel component or assembly two steps from us.

 

Without these, there'd be no practical power transmission of any kind!

 

Gear design, to this day, is one of the most complex subjects in the mechanical industry.

 

 

In fact, cogwheel / gear (along with a Spanner) is one of the most recognised mechanical components on the planet. That is why it is used to represent "Settings" on apps, phones, websites, cars and pretty much every indicative sign.

 

This particular component is a compound gear that is used to vary the drive ratio in a drive train.
