GearTeq - Gear Design for SolidWorks

GearTeq - The next generation

This is the introductory version of the number one gear design tool for SolidWorks

Some of GearTeq's enhanced features:

• Work on Multiple types of drive components in the same assembly
• See any changes to the geometry instantly on the display window
• Multiple gears created as a single SolidWorks part
• Internal splines can be used as a bore on all components
• Modifying SolidWorks parts created by GearTeq is very easy
• Automatically create assemblies in SolidWorks with proper mating
• Ten standard planetary gear systems are available with a few clicks
• High ratio cycloid set (a single eccentrically mounted planet and a fixed internal gear)
• On screen animations to help you visualize the working gears

• Warnings when GearTeq detects something in your design that may not be proper
• 3D wire frame with some surface shading
• Create XY outputs of the involute points in Excel and text files
• Create data sheets using Excel or text files
• A description of each parameter is in the lower section of the property grid
• Involute profile modification using linear or parabolic deviation for spur and helical gears
• Automatic balance of addendum modification for spur and helical gears
• Create additional tooth profiles that take into consideration the shrinkage of molded plastic gear teeth
• Deviation chart for DIN splines, hub space width/shaft tooth thickness fit
• An easy to use sizing for standard spur gears
• Programmed on a platform that will allow greater enhancements in the future

This release is compiled for x32 operating systems (it will run fine on your new x64 machine) but it will be available as an x64 program at a later date. To start GearTeq use the Window> Start All Programs's menu.

The first time you start GearTeq, go to Help>GearTeq Quick Start Guide to view a PDF for concise instructions on getting started.

While GearTeq has no intention of replacing your CAD system it does want to provide some of the functionality you have become accustomed to. With CAD like features, you can view components with drag, rotate and multiple zooms options. You can also drive the components for immediate animation!
