Transmission torque calculation (including machine efficiency) "Never forget about machine efficiency when calculating torque !"ĥ. If incorrectly installed, such as deviation in the intersection point of bevel gears, efficiency will decrease. The gear efficiency shown above are the values when gears are installed properly. Note) The efficiency shown above is the transmission efficiency of gears without regard to the loss in bearings or agitation of grease. Table 3-2 Gear’s machine efficiency by typeĮfficiency of helical gear is less than spur gear as teeth are inclined and force is created in the thrust direction. The ratio of input to output forces of gears is called “machine efficiency” and its approximate value is known according to the gear type. Therefore, the torque (turning force) is reduced by as much as the energy is lost as above.

How to determine torque transmission (without regard to machine efficiency)Ī gear’s transmission torque changes as it increases or decreases speed. In other words, torque T is the factor determined by L (the distance from the center of rotation) and load F.ģ. On the other hand, torque T becomes larger as load F is increased even if L (the distance from the center of rotation) is short. Torque T becomes larger as L (the distance from the center of rotation) becomes longer even if load F is small.
Torque T is expressed as the following formula in N・mm (Newton millimeter). Torque is the turning force when load F (N) is applied at a distance L (mm) away from the center of rotation. You can increase or decrease a gear’s torque (turning force) by changing the number of rotations. (Table 3-1)Ĭhange rotational direction (clockwise / counterclockwise)Ĭhange the number of rotations (speed up / down)Ĭhange turning force (increase / decrease torque) Here is the list of gear functions for mechanism designs. The first step of mechanism design using gears.
