Abstract
Gear force directions for transmitted, radial, and axial gear forces can be easily determined by following simple word rules. The word rules presented here have been applied to spur, bevel, helical and worm gear sets, with illustrations to clarify their use. The gear force word rules can help eliminate problems and confusion typically encountered by engineering and engineering technology students when drawing free body diagrams of shafts with mounted gears
