Gear Design Application and Gear Stress Calculation


























Video Tutorial Available:




Description of each parameter / variable:

Module: Indicates the tooth size and is the number of mm pitch circle diameter(p.c.d.) per tooth. Many parameters are related to this value. The module will determine the gear tooth strength, and in fact, it will define the overall gear size.


Teeth Number: Teeth number of pinion and gear relation define the gear transmission, or gear ratio.Together with the module defines the pitch diameter of each gear. It also has a great influence in the contact ratio of the gear pair. Check the minimum Teeth number needed for a specific gear pair to avoid interference. Thee are many references in the web. 

Addemdum Factor:
By default, a value of 1.25 is recommended. When playing with this value, you will notice that tip diameter will change.
