6 quizzes on gear wheels for karts

Gianluca Covini
10 February 2022
The gear wheel, within the transmission system of a kart, is an element that is as crucial as it is underestimated. It is also often the subject of more or less well-founded technical theories that spread in paddocks on amword of mouth basis. To put an end to the myths in this regard, we asked Vincenzo Vannini, owner of VA.MEC (an historic manufacturer of accessories and components for karting), to answer the most frequently asked questions regarding this component. Here they are:



1.A GEAR WHEEL THAT IS SMALLER IN DIAMETER, AND THEREFORE WITH FEWER TEETH, WEARS FASTER

2.GEAR WHEELS IN ALUMINIUM, ERGAL, STEEL: THE WEAR IS THE SAME, ONLY THE WEIGHT CHANGES

3.ALL GEAR WHEELS HAVE A ROTATION DIRECTION

4.THE WEAR OF GEARS IS ACCELERATED IF THE CHAIN IS ELONGATED

5.THE MORE HOLES A GEAR WHEEL HAS TO LIGHTEN IT, THE MORE TORSION THERE WILL BE UNDER TORQUE CONDITIONS

6.GEAR WHEELS ARE ALWAYS "THE WEAK LINK" OF THE TRANSMISSION
