What is a gear module?

“Module” is the unit of size that indicates how big or small a gear is. It is the ratio of the reference diameter of the gear divided by the number of teeth.

How do gears rotate?

Gears are wheels with teeth that slot together. When one gear is turned the other one turns as well. If the gears are of different sizes, they can be used to increase the power of a turning force. The smaller wheel turns more quickly but with less force, while the bigger one turns more slowly with more force.

What are gear ratios?

A gear ratio is the ratio of the number of rotations of a driver gear to the number of rotations of a driven gear. A colon is often used to show a gear ratio: gear ratio = rotations of a driver gear : rotations of a driven gear.

What is a bevel gear used for?

Bevel gears are used to connect shafts whose axes lie at an angle to each other, although in most applications the shafts are at right angles. The tooth profile is basically the same as used for spur gears except that the tooth gets progressively smaller as it approaches the apex of the projected cone.

How do you calculate gear teeth?

Gear Spur Tooth Strength Equation and Calculator.

…

Spur Gear Design Calculator.

To Find	Equation
Outside Diameter (American Standard Stub Teeth)	D_O = ( N + 1.6 ) / P D_O = [ ( N + 1.6 ) p ] / π
Outside Diameter	D_O = D + 2a
Pitch Diameter	D = N / P D = (N p ) / π
Root Diameter	D_R = D – 2b
