Creating a Non-Standard Spur Gear

Custom Coefficient Method

Selecting Custom Coefficients as the Gear Standard type can create a non-standard spur gear.  This allows the user to specify the coefficients for:

Addendum

Clearance (clearance plus addendum equals dedendum)

Clearance Addition, which is a linear dimension, not a coefficient

Fillet

 

 

 


Free Form Method

Selecting Free Form as the Gear Standard type will allow the user to create a non-standard spur gear.  This allows the user to specify almost every parameter of the spur gear.  With this increased flexibility also comes the responsibility of making certain the data makes sense.  For example, you can specify a major diameter that is less than the minor diameter.  GearTeq does not check the integrity of the data even though it is obviously wrong.
