The paper ‘GEARLESS DRIVE’ being compact and portable equipment which transmits power at right angle without any gears. Here, the L - shaped joint transmits the input power in such a way that the angular forces are produced and transmitted by the joints. The amount of friction generated is minimal compared to the power being transmitted. The material used for El-bow is made up mild steel material. The mechanism is screwed to the spindle which is driven by the gearless drive transmission connected to the drive system. The entire setup is constructed and placed on the base plate. There is no back lash during the power transmission. Therefore, the efficiency of 90% - 93% can be obtained in a gearless transmission mechanism. The Mechanical drives systems are economic when compared to electrical drives and their control and components are much simpler. These are widely used in industries ranging from aviation to heavy industry. In recent trends and advancements these types of drive has become more efficient
