Another gear that has specialized function is the clutch gear. If you experiment the gear by placing it in a robot and rotate it, you will notice that this gear offers some resistance at first then it will turn. This resistance is the very essence to the purpose of this wheel, because it decrease the force exerted on the system when the motion comes to a stop. This way it will prevent the system from damaging itself.
Finally, there is the pulley system. Under some circumstances, it is better to use the pulley system than the gears. For example, when you want to transfer the motion between two wheel that is widely separated you can use the pulley system. This is better than placing many gears in between the wheel since pulley system requires less power to start the motion. In addition, it produces less noise than using gears. The only downside is that the pulley does not transfer high torque since the belts tend to slip.
Here is an example of a pulley system:

Really nice summery and a cool picture for understanding "Pulley System".
Keep up working !
Simple and easy. nice to drop by and review what I've learnt. ^^
nice explanation and We are specializing in the design and manufacturing of distinct categories of gears, these gears are manufactured with stringent quality norms followed globally. We are manufacturing Helical Gear, Spiral Bevel Gear, Bevel Gear, Worm Gear, and Spur Gear.
