What is another word for segmental gearing?
Pronunciation: [sɛɡmˈɛntə͡l ɡˈi͡əɹɪŋ] (IPA) 
Segmental gearing is a type of gearing system where the wheel is divided into segments, and each segment has teeth that meshes with a corresponding gear to transmit power. Synonyms for segmental gearing include divisional gearing, segmented cogwheel system, and split-tooth gearing. Another related phrase that describes the same concept is "intermittent gearing", which refers to a mechanism that engages and disengages the driving gear from the driven gear by virtue of the wheel being divided into segments. The use of segmental gearing is common in many industrial applications, such as machine tools, conveyor systems, and printing presses. Regardless of what term is used to describe it, segmental gearing has proven to be a reliable and efficient way to transmit power.
