gear teeth
Mesh for rotation
Gear teeth are the projecting ridges around the edge of a gear that mesh with corresponding teeth on another gear to transmit motion and force.
The shape, size, and spacing of gear teeth determine how smoothly and efficiently power transfers between rotating parts: The gear teeth were worn down after years of use.
