skew gear

In skew gears, teeth suddenly meet at a line contact across their entire width causing stress and noise.

Placing the oil pump low-down uses a near-vertical drive shaft, driven by helical skew gears from the camshaft.

In the latter, the shafts are non-parallel, and in this configuration the gears are sometimes known as "skew gears".

I could never figure out why but this generator was driven by a skew gear and was mounted at 45% to the axis of the timing gear.

The camshaft was geared directly from the crankshaft with skew gears driving the oil pump and the contact breaker assembly mounted behind the cylinder via a shaft.

Nine miles north east from home at around 4.40pm the Forester Centenary was in trouble when her skew gear which drives the lifeboat's oil and water pumps broke down.

Magneto, distributor and water pump are driven by skew gear from the front of the crankshaft as are the pinions and chains which drive the valve shafts operating the sleeve valves.
