gearwheels
Meshing mechanical circles
Gearwheels is the plural of gearwheel—a toothed wheel that meshes with another to transmit motion or change speed in machinery.
The term is slightly more formal or technical than the shortened form gears: The clock's gearwheels needed cleaning.
Gearwheels appear in everything from watches to industrial equipment.
