Gear Design Calculator

Gear Design Calculator
Description:
The “Gear Design Calculator” application is used to design and obtain main dimension of spur and helical gears. Easy and versatile tool to calculate ratio and design new gear. There are many definitions related to gear mechanism such as gear ratio, module, backlash and much more. This app also contain a General Gear Ratio Chart which helps you to find circular pitch and module according to diameter pitch which is required This App also contain all the definitions related to Gear Mechanism.


Features:
The following values can be calculated with appropriate values :
For spur gear:
• Module
• Gear Ratio
• Diametral Pitch
• Pitch Diameter
• Outside Diameter
• Number of Teeth
• Addendum
• Dedeudum
• Tooth Thickness
• Working Depth
• Center Distance
• Circular Pitch
For Helical gear:
• Gear Ratio
• Module
• Normal Diameter Pitch
• Pitch Diameter
• Outside Diameter
• Helical Angle
• Addendum
• Lead

Application:
You can use this application “Gear Design Calculator” to design gear of:
Automotive, Blenders, Converting, Conveyors, Electronics, Feeder Drives, Food Processing, Home & Garden, Indexing, Marine Steering, Material Handling, Medical, Mixers, Movie Animation, Office Machines, Packaging, Paper Processing, Power Transmission Distributors, Printing, Punch Presses, Robotics, Semiconductors.


Limitations:
- No support for inch. Calculations only in millimeters!
- Pi is assumed to be 3.14.




A gear or cogwheel is a rotating machine part having cut teeth or cogs, which mesh with another toothed part in order to transmit torque, in most cases with teeth on the one gear being of identical shape and often also with that shape on the other gear. There are many types of gears such as spur, helical etc. Spur gear the most common type used. Tooth contact is primarily rolling, with sliding occurring during engagement and disengagement. Helical gear is a cylindrical shaped gear with helicoids teeth. Helical gears operate with less noise and vibration than spur gears. At any time, the load on helical gears is distributed over several teeth, resulting in reduced wear. They are widely used in industry.
