A cogwheel with a small number of teeth, or leaves, adapted to engage with a larger wheel, or rack (see Rack); esp., such a wheel having its leaves formed of the substance of the arbor or spindle which is its axis.
To disable or restrain, as a person, by binding the arms, esp. by binding the arms to the body.
A gear with a small number of teeth designed to mesh with a larger geared wheel or a rack. Used in rack and pinion steering and the differential ring and pinion.
the smaller of two gear wheels, or a gear wheel that drives or is driven by a toothed rack
The smallest gear of a gear drivetrain. The pinion can be either the driving or the driver gear and is often used in cars as differential pinion or in a rack-and-pinion steering mechanism.
A pinion is a gear with a small number of teeth designed to mesh with a larger wheel or rack.
a toothed wheel, often also called a gear
A small cogwheel, the teeth of which fit into those of larger gearwheel or those of a rack.
a small cog-wheel engaging with a larger one or a cogged spindle engaging with a wheel.
(n) The smaller of two gears in a meshed pair of gears. The larger of the two gears is simply called the gear. A gear and pinion pair is used to change the speed of shaft rotation, with the pinion shaft rotating at a higher rate than the gear shaft.
Usually, the smaller driving or input bevel gear of a driving axle gearset.
A gear with a small number of teeth which meshes with one having a larger number of teeth.
The smaller of two mating or meshing gears; can be either the driving or the driven gear.( 250)
The smaller of two gears. The rear axle pinion drives the ring gear which transmits motion to the axle shafts.
Combines with a wheel and an arbor (s.) to form a gear (s.). A pinion has less teeth than a wheel and transmits motive force to a wheel. Pinion teeth (normally 6 to 14) are highly polished to reduce friction to a minimum.
the smaller of two mating or meshing gears; may apply to either the driving or the driven gear.
Part of the train with leaves or teeth driven by the wheels of the train.
The input or driving gear that meshes with an output or driven gear.
When considering two sprockets or gears that run together the one with the smaller number of teeth is called the pinion.
Small diameter gear that is engaged with a larger gear to be used, for example, in transmissions.
small cogwheel, with teeth, that fits into large gearwheel or rack.
Part mounted on the shaft of a wheel, the leaves of which engage the teeth of a neighbouring wheel.
The smaller of two mating gears. See also Rack.
A pinion is the smallest gear in a gear drive train. In many cases, such as remote controlled toys, the pinion is also the drive gear.
