Characteristics related to power transmission in the micro-domain, based on dry rolling contact of the gears, were investigated using a 3D-printed gear train with a pitch circle diameter of 84 µm in order to experimentally compare the power transmission efficiency in the macro- and micro-domains. For a basic gear train with two intermeshing gears, it was shown that the gear train in the micro-domain was capable of transmitting power to the same extent as in the macro-domain. However, in gear trains with complex power transmission paths, assuming a planetary gear train with multiple meshing gears, it has been shown that the power transmission characteristics of micro-domain gears differ from those in the macro-domain. The use of gear trains in the micro-region necessitates consideration of the loss of transmitted torque due to contact between tooth surfaces, which is unique to the micro-region and different from its use in the macro-region.
