Spur Gears Component GeneratorYou enter the gear design parameters to create the correct sized spur gear for the Protobot.Definition of Generated GearsThe gear generators are where you enter gear data to produce gear models in your assemblies. Afterthe required data is entered into the gear generator, the data is processed and models are producedbased on the data provided.The data that you input into the gear generator and the resulting calculations are stored with the gearset. Because the values are stored as part of the generated gear set, you can review your results orrevise your calculations at a later time.22■Unit 6: Gears, Chains, and Sprockets
Example: Generated GearsIn the following illustration, a bevel gear set is created to change the direction and transmit powerfrom the input shaft to the threaded rod. Now that the gear design has been finalized, the final shaftlengths can be determined, as well as the methods to secure the gears to the shafts.Gear Generator OptionsWhen you create or edit gear sets, you interact with the Gears Component Generator dialog box forthe type of gear specified. The Design Accelerator enables you to efficiently design spur, bevel, andworm gear sets. To design and position your gear sets in your assemblies, you need to know whatoptions are available in the dialog box and where they are located.The specific Gears Component Generator dialog box is displayed after you click the tool to generategears. Within this dialog box, you enter the method and values required to calculate the gear set. Theinformation varies depending on the method used.Create Phase■23
