Magiya amatha kugawidwa motengera mawonekedwe a dzino, mawonekedwe a giya, mawonekedwe a mzere wa dzino, pamwamba pomwe mano a giya ali, ndi njira yopangira.
1) Magiya amatha kugawidwa m'mapindikira amtundu wa dzino, ngodya yokakamiza, kutalika kwa dzino komanso kusamuka molingana ndi mawonekedwe a dzino.
2) Magiya amagawidwa m'magiya a cylindrical, magiya a bevel, magiya osazungulira, zotchingira, ndi magiya a nyongolotsi malinga ndi mawonekedwe awo.
3) Magiya amagawidwa m'magiya a spur, magiya a helical, magiya a herringbone, ndi magiya opindika molingana ndi mawonekedwe a mzere wa dzino.
4) Malinga ndi zida zapamtunda komwe mano agiya ali, amagawidwa kukhala zida zakunja ndi zida zamkati.Nsonga yozungulira ya zida zakunja ndi yayikulu kuposa mizu yozungulira;pomwe nsonga yozungulira ya zida zamkati ndi yaying'ono kuposa mizu yozungulira.
5) Malinga ndi njira yopangira, magiya amagawidwa kukhala magiya oponyera, magiya odulira, magiya ogubuduza, magiya a sintering, etc.
Kutumiza kwa zida kumagawidwa m'mitundu iyi:
1. Cylindrical gear drive
2. Bevel gear drive
3. Hypoid gear drive
4. Helical gear drive
5. Worm drive
6. Arc gear drive
7. Cycloidal gear drive
8. Kutumiza kwa mapulaneti (omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito nthawi zambiri ndi mapulaneti wamba omwe amapangidwa ndi zida za dzuwa, zida zapapulaneti, zida zamkati ndi chonyamulira mapulaneti)
