Be sure to set the document properties to inches or mm if you want real-world dimensions.

|
For gears to mesh - the size of the teeth on each gear must be the same.
|
|
This is why tooth count and Circular Pitch or Metric Module is used to define gears and not radius.
|
|
|
|
The Circular Pitch, p, is the distance between adjacent teeth around the Pitch Circle.
|
|
p = pi * D / z
|
|
- where z is the number of teeth on a gear of pitch diameter D.
|
|
The SI measure is the Module - which expresses the core ratio of Pitch Diameter to number of Teeth:
|
|
m = p / pi = D / z
|
|
|
|
where:
|
|
- Pitch Circle: Radius is equal to the distance from the center of the gear to the pitch point.
|
|
- Pitch Point: The point of tangency of the pitch circles of two meshing gears.

Pressure angle [in degrees]. Usually 20. Historical: 14.5; High torque gears: 25.
|
|
The higher the pressure angle, the stronger the teeth. With higher pressure angles, more effort is needed to turn the gears (due to friction).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Caution: Undercut is currently not generated. E.g. a gear at pressure angle 20 deg and less than 17 teeth would either need a (negative!) profile shifting or will cause undercut. We only produce a warning.
