Creating Spur and Helical Gears - Tutorial - SOLIDWORKS. This video shows not only how to create Spur and Helical Gears using SOLIDWORKS, but also how to add intelligence to the design and let SOLIDWORKS do most of the heavy lifting for you. This video relies heavily on equations. If you’ve never used equations in SOLIDWORKS, this is a great video for that also.

I have watched many videos on gear design and this video is by far the best explanation of how gears are designed and the use of equation tables to control size and number of teeth for a gear. The narrator speaks clearly, knows his subject and moves slow enough for viewers to follow the video. In my opinion the best tutorial on the subject I have ever viewed. Great teacher!

This is a great SolidWorks tutorial, with the one exception that these gears would explode in use. Gear teeth are nearly universally involutes, not circular arcs. SolidWorks even offers involute support. This can't be overlooked.

@KoalaLumpUhr 6 жыл бұрын

After the first impulse to agree, I googled it (but didn't get too deep into the matter) and found that actually the "Wildhaber-Novikov gearing" or "Circular arc gearing" seems to even have advantages over the common involute or zykloid teeth... But it is more complicated to manufacture - and so quite rare. Anyway I guess that if someone is constructing "gears", he is going to buy them as standard parts. Or if he really makes them himself - he knows about involutes ;)

@jeandaher8757 9 жыл бұрын

nice tutorial for using the equation functionalities however as a mechanical engineer here are some major faults in the design: 1- by definition the involute is never an arc, it follows sin and cos formula 2- the pressure angle should never be done as shown, it simply used to calculate the base diameter where the involute starts 3- the helical angle is also wrong, simply projecting a line is so wrong, it should be done with a "helix", the helix pitch depends on the helical angle and pitch diameter, for instance for 45 degrees its tangent is 1 so the pitch is 3.141 * pitch diameter I didn't want to sound critical, but if you produce such tooth profile as indicated the gears will slide and won't roll. they won't be efficient at all especially for molding plastic gears. I have produced perfect gears geometries this way, it takes more time in the beginning but if you set your global variable as indicated it should be easy. I will be happy to share my knowledge with the community thanks

jean daher I had the same thoughts, jean. The method in this clip is wonderfully simple, and great for making realistic looking gears (as long as the "looking" is done from a distance) but it should be made very clear that gears modelled in this way are not functional. Most people will not realise that the projected curve, in particular, produces a different result from a helix, and it is increasingly incorrect as the helix angle increases. A "crossed" skew-gear pair at 45 degree helix angle would make this very apparent, and the interference towards the ends of the teeth would be considerable. A further problem is that, for a helical gear, the tooth profile needs to be swung around normal to the helix. Not that it matters for a "Not for production" visualisation of a gear.

+jean daher I am studying Design of Machine Elements, and one of my final assignment is to create a gearbox, which I have choose to use spur gear and I found your comments very accurate with what I am studying at the moment.Would you share how you have created perfect gear geometries? I am struggling at the moment in creating the shaft....

@jeandaher8757 8 жыл бұрын

Sure, but as I said it takes some time upfront. SW is also limited since it always refers to the original coordinate system and disregard the new one. (I complained abut it, they admitted it but still not fixed) 1. start setting an equation for 1a-pitch diameter 1b- diametral pitch (module for metric) 1-c pressure angle 2. make a sketch for all relevant diameters driven by the equation, from previous you can set your number of teeth, base diameter, addendum etc. 3. now create an equation driven sketch, make sure you pick parametric with t1=0 t2=2*pi (it doesn't have to be 2pi but it is better to be longer than not enough) set Xt=(base diameter/2)*cos(t)+(base diameter/2)*t*sin(t) set Yt=(base diameter/2)*sin(t)-(base diameter/2)*t*cos(t) you should have a full involute. after that just fix the curve, another bug with the software the rest is up to you to make an extrusion based on that sketch and cut based on equation curve, create the cuts pattern from calculated number of teeth. if you follow that you have a template that works perfect every time. once you master that helical gear is similar however you cut the involute with a helical cut instead straight cut. the helix pitch will based on helical angle described in earlier post hope that helps you jean

Dont forget that you can drop your driving sketch into every assembly and sub assembly, this lightens up the processing time in the main assembly and helps your computer to think in smaller chunks of information this helps stop crashes and opening and saving times.

Very nice tutorial, thank you very much. Just one small thing. At 6:39 you say the whole depth should be 2.40*m if module is finer than 1.25, and 2.25*m for coarser module. But should this not be opposite? I would expect a greater whole depth for a coarse module gear.

just an FYI, the gear as modeled produced interference when mated with an identical gear of ~0.2mm according to interference detection features. It would not be functional. I verified the equation outputs to be sure it was not a replication error.

my system won't allow me to add the details in the equation manager, when I do the "Module" it will only allow me to ad a 2 without the mm notation, if I add the mm it fails to allow me to do anymore, if I leave the mm off, I can just add a 2, is there an add-on I am missing ? or something else in setup you had already done.
