Hello all, can anyone tell me if they know of an online gear calculator? I know the ratio (1.89:1) but I think that I could get away with 2:1 I also know the center distance of the two gears 103.77mm and the MOD 1.25. But the more I look at the formulas for calculation the more confused I get, I must say that formulas are not my strong point, hence my quest for an online gear calculator.

Hello Mark P,

This may not be quite what you are looking for, but you can get gearing in the form of 17 teeth driver to 9 teeth driven to give you a ratio 1.888 recurring to achieve a very close approximation to 1.89:1.

So, gears of 85/45 if you have those would do what you need [these are the simple multiples by five of the values 17 and 9

Regards Brian

module is pcd (mm)/teeth, the inverse of diametral pitch. If you flog through the arithmetic you get either 108/58=1.86 or 57/109 = 1.91, both with a centre distance of 103.75 mm

In 1.25 Mod 106 / 56 will give you 1.8928 as a ratio with a centre distance of 101.25mm

Or 108 / 58 wil give you 1.86:1 at a centre distance of 103.75
