gearwheel
Rotating toothed component
A gearwheel is a toothed wheel that meshes with another to transmit motion or change speed and direction in machinery.
The term is sometimes used interchangeably with gear, though gearwheel emphasizes the wheel component rather than the entire mechanism: The gearwheels in the old clock needed cleaning.
