Learn Engineering: Spur Gear Design

Curated by ACT

Understand the design criteria that should be met by any gear design to meet the American Gear Manufacturers Association standards. The accompanying video discusses how the design inputs (power transmitted, space constraints, and materials) affect the design outputs (number of teeth, pitch circle diameter, addendum, dedendum, face width, and tooth thickness). The article describes how to use the equations that are discussed in the video. [8:34]
