Tap into our broad range of technology for gear making
Documented bite-sized calculators for spur and helical gears. They give you the required dimensions and tolerances for drawings and machining. Also included are 2D and 3D models to augment your CAD solution. Use them to make internal and external spur gears and racks in your digital mechanism.
Workflows for Milling, 3D-Printing, and hobbing gears, as well as turning worms on your lathe. Hard to find tools to solve frequently encountered gear problems. Feeds and Speeds for hobbing. Cutting Tool geometry design.
Inspection methods that are accurate, affordable, understandable and effective. Our inspection calculators rely on complex involute geometry for measurements. We did the math so you do not have to.
All the knowledge and tech you need whether you run CNC or manual milling or hobbing machine, or 3D printers-routers-laser cutters-waterjet cutters etc. Know the basis for your design and manufacture with confidence. See it in 3D first, and use the DXF and STL file exports to complement your CAD design. Internal and external Spur and Helical Gears, Wormwheels, Worms, Sprockets, Ratchets, and Splines. Standard Gears, profile shifting to modify addendums and dedendums. Gear strengths for different materials. Feeds and Speeds for hobbing, Ratio calculators and other machinery setup calculations. Inspection for your job that ties to your design, so you make less scrap for ”GEARS THAT WORK”.
Start NowWe've built our gear design, prototyping, and manufacturing business using these same tools. These calculators not only conform to international standards, but have been built on decades of engineering experience, and have helped users design over 3 million gears!
Interactive gear generation so you can see what you are going to get, see the changes in dimensions and shapes based on parameter changes, with outputs that are useful for further design, 3D printing or part plans.
Save your projects, gears, machines, speeds and feeds and other vital information. Output and report you results for process documentation.
Our calculators have been used in our shop extensively, but they have also been in industry for 3 years. With over 3 million gears designed, they have been used for many industries in a variety of shops-globally. Our extensive library of gear technology and training, coupled with programming and math skills have created a broad and useful set of tools. The inspection tools are a key part of any manufacturing process. You must design and manufacture. But if you do not inspect, iterate and learn, you don't have all the tools you need
