The others have mentioned the white gear is a clutch gear. I thought I'd throw out a practical use to put it into perspective: it's ideal for a motorized gripper, where you'd want the grip to have some resistance as it closes, but not so much torque (...)

(...) The white gears are a slip gear. To explain it put one on a motor and make it spin. Now grab on to it and it will stop and turn inside. You will notice that there is still a little tension on the gear. It's great for low torque projects where (...) (26 years ago, 12-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.scout)
