Gear and Toothing Creation

Gear Creation

Creation of parallel involute circle gears according to the ISO (NF E 23-001 to 005) and AGMA (American) Standards.

Two types of gears are possible :

external gears
internal gears

The characteristics of the toothing are calculated according to the number of teeth and to the pitch (diameter = pitch * number of teeth). GO2cam displays the reports of these different calculations where the pitch and the number of teeth are involved.

To create a gear

a. Fill the parameters of the following dialog box. The parameters for the Control Characteristics area are described: click here.

b. If you click on the green tick to validate : a half tooth is drawn.
c. You can select Symmetry to have a full tooth drawn and if you also select Rotation, the whole gear will be drawn after validation.

Toothing Creation

Creation of rectilinear sides involute circle splines according to the ISO (NF E 22-141) and AGMA (American) Standards.

Two types of splines are possible :

shafts
hubs

The characteristics of the toothing are calculated according to the number of teeth and to the pitch (diameter = pitch * number of teeth). GO2cam displays the reports of these different calculations where the pitch and the number of teeth are involved.

Note :

this type of spline is a particular case of parallel involute circle gear handled by the Gear module.
if you have to design a spline that does not fit the GO2cam specific calculation frame, you can use the Gear module to define this spline better.

To create a spline

a. Fill the parameters of the following dialog box. The parameters for the Control Characteristics area are described: click here.

b. If you click on the green tick to validate : a half tooth is drawn.
c. You can select Symmetry to have a full tooth drawn and if you also select Rotation, the whole gear will be drawn after validation.
