Gear pair maker
Two gears that mesh, from the shaft spacing and the ratio you need.
About the gear pair maker
Tell it how far apart your two shafts are and how many teeth each gear has, and it works out the tooth size so the pair meshes exactly. Both gears are shown meshed.
- The ratio is the tooth count of gear B divided by gear A.
- Helical pairs come with opposite slants, ready to mesh.
- Add a little play between teeth if the printed pair binds.
