An idler gear is a gear wheel that is inserted between two or more other gear wheels. The purpose of an idler gear can be two-fold.
The idler gear will change the direction of rotation of the output shaft. Secondly, an idler gear can assist to reduce the size of the input/output gears whilst maintaining the spacing of the shafts.
An idler gear does not affect the gear ratio between the input and output shafts. The surface speed of the input shaft is transferred directly to the surface speed of the idler wheel, and then from the idler wheel to the output shaft.
