    Market Definition

    Automotive Gear: A gear is a roller-shaped component with teeth along its outer edge, used in machines to transfer speed and torque between vehicle shafts. Gears enable different torque and speed ratios and can change the direction of the driven or driving shaft—the teeth on the gear wheel interlock to facilitate the transfer of speed and torque. Automotive Gears are mainly used in automotive transmissions, differentials, steering systems, and other applications.
