![]() Schematic of Simple Gear Train |
A Simple Gear Train is a number of Simple Gear-Pairs in series. Each Shaft has only one gear. Use a Simple Gear Train:

Monobloc Machines Monobloc machines are frequently used with Filling, Capping, Labelling, Coding, Orientating and many other high speed packaging applications. The monobloc has a simple gear-train to transmit the motion from one 'head' to the next. See YouTube Video: http://youtu.be/fvRp2lC1aXw |
Add a Simple Gear-Pair with an External Mesh - see Option 1 Step 14.1 Here, the number-of-teeth are: T1=20 The basic rule:: Three Parts, and three Lines, joined together with two Pin-Joints'. |
Again, we need three Lines, in three Parts. Join the Parts with Pin-Joints. The Pin-Joints must join Points at the end of each Line. Gear-Pair 2: Line 1 and Part 1 Line 1 is the CAD-Line |

Gear-Pair 2: Line 2 and Part 2 This will be the line-of-centres - it is the Line that joins the gear-centres It is a new Line in the Base-Part.

It does not matter how long. IMPORTANT rule: You must MERGE Point

MechDesigner adds two new gears. A Simple Gear Train does not need one of the Gears of Gear-Pair 2. We must hide the Gear on the same shaft centre. This is a MechDesigner trick. |
