Question

Difference between simple gear train and compound gear train

Answer 1

In a simple gear train, some of thegears are connected to the same shaft. In a compound gear train, eachgear has its own shaft for rotation.
Compound gear trains increase power transfer more than simple gear trains. In simple gear trains, the final gearratio is determined by the driver and driven gears.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• The main difference between compound gear trains and simple gear trains is related to the shaft.
• The compound gear trains have its own individual shafts for working of gear while for simple gear trains there are more than one gear or a series of gears.

• The compound gear train have same shaft to which the gears are connected to hence the driven gears and the driver determines the gear ratio (final) for the simple gear trains.
