Efficient Layout Process of Cylindrical Gears with Manufacturing Constraints

March 1, 2019
Cylindrical gear design can be divided into three steps. In the first step, rough gear pair dimensions such as center distance and face width are being estimated. Center distance and face width are directly linked to the available space (housing dimensions) and influence the overall size, weight and cost of the gears.
