3D solid models, 2D isometric tooth gears for AutoCAD

3D solid models, 2D isometric entities of tooth gears for AutoCAD by Chris Watts Design. Compatible with AutoCAD v2000 to 2008!

Customize your own 2D or 3D Gear!

The Gear Factory dialog box allows you to create standard or custom 3D solid models, 2D entities or 2D isometric entities of standard involute tooth gears

Choose between Spur, Bevel, Internal and Rack gears. You can customize the pitch, pressure angle, number of teeth, width, and insertion point and virtually create your own part!

Gear Factory Features

Using the Gear Library

This drop down list displays the entire selection of gears in the library. Here are the available selections:

Spur Gear: This is a cylindrical shaped gear in which the teeth are parallel to the axis. It has the largest applications and, also, it is the easiest to manufacture.

Bevel Gear: This is a gear in which the teeth have tapered conical elements that have the same direction as the pitch cone base line (generatrix). The straight bevel gear is both the simplest to produce and the most widely applied in the bevel gear family.

Rack Gear: This is a linear shaped gear which can mesh with a spur gear with any number of teeth. The rack is a portion of a spur gear with a infinite radius.

*Internal Gear: *This is a cylindrical shaped gear but with the teeth inside the circular ring. It can mesh with a spur gear, internal gears are often used in planetary gear systems.

Builds in 2D or 3D solids

Choose either 3DSolid or 2D. If 2D is selected, click on the option desired in the drop down list.

If the “Custom…..” option is chosen, the following dialog box will open. This option allows the part to be rotated. To see a visual interpretation, use the slider in the dialog box.

Builds your gears parametrically

Gear Factory allows you to easily customize your output by modifying your Gear Data

Number of Teeth: Enter a value for the teeth number.

Diametral Pitch: This is the ratio of the number of teeth to the number of inches in the pitch diameter – equals number of gear teeth to each inch of pitch diameter.

Pitch Diameter: This is obtained by dividing the number of teeth by the diametral pitch or by multiplying the circular pitch by the number of teeth divided by 3.1416.

Thickness: Enter a value for the width of face.

Shaft Diameter: Enter a value for the shaft diameter.

Pitch Cone Angle: Enter a value for the pitch cone or edge angle.

Customize your Rack Gear Data

Diametral Pitch: This is the ratio of the number of teeth to the number of inches in the pitch diameter – equals number of gear teeth to each inch of pitch diameter.

Height: Enter a value for the height of the rack gear.

Width: Enter a value for the width of the rack gear.

Length: Enter a value for the length of the rack gear.

Pressure Angle: This combo box displays all of the pressure angle based on the size selected.
