Re: Custom made Spur Gear
You can look on 3D ContentCentral (you can access the site within SOLIDWORKS environment)

Re: Custom made Spur Gear
It is amazing. Thank you very much for the information.
How can I access the site within SOLIDWORKS environment because I couldn’t see any 3D Content Central tool in the Help menu or in the SWX resources?

Re: Custom made Spur Gear
Hi Maha,
You will get much quicker answers if you just look in the help and do Google searches.
Search for 3D ContentCentral in the help:
And the very first hit in the results is your answer of how to access it in the software.
Further down in the list is a topic that brings you here:
2018 SOLIDWORKS Help - Search MySolidWorks
that decribes that choosing CAD Models to search in the image that you just posted will also search 3D ContentCentral.
And if you search Google:
https://www.google.com/search?q=3d+contentcentral
The very first hit is how to access it as a separate website.
Thanks,
Jim

Re: Toolbox Similar
I need a gear like this. What should be the information in the 3D Content Central search box to get a gear similar to this?
I fed this information but no result was found.
Spur gear 1.375M 12T 14.5PA 5FW

Re: Toolbox Similar
Yes I considered but specification is the problem.
Spur gear 1.375M 12T 14.5PA 5FW
What are dimension I can get from 1.375M and how to make 14.5PA?
In case of pressure angle is concerned so far I have found from YouTube is two similar gears are need to decide it.
Do you have any idea?

Re: Toolbox Similar
I have a written tutorial (with illustrations) which I downloaded quite some time ago so that I could learn to create the all of the different size cogs needed for the V12 engine I was building at the time. I could share this with you if you'd like, even though I know you prefer to learn via video examples. Just let me know?
There may be better tutorials on the net, but I found that this process worked out okay for me.
Dave.

Re: Toolbox Similar
Here you go, file attached, courtesy of GrabCAD
The file I've attached is a 'Word' document in which I copied all of the instructions and illustrations from a tutorial on GrabCad (I did this so that I could still reference it whilst out of internet range.)
If you CTRL+Click on any of the images it will take to the full size image in the tutorial anyway and you may just prefer to follow the tutorial from there. You can add your own dimensions and angles to the creation of the gears and only a very small piece of simple mathematics (which is explained) on your part is required.
Have fun.
Dave.

Re: Toolbox Similar
How did you decide this point? because this point is randomly chosen in the tutorial.

Maha,
It is not randomly chosen at all, the description should have just been given a bit better by the person who made the tutorial. Here is an explanation.
Whatever ever straight dimension value you have at arrow 1 (in this case 19.50) you need to have the same arc dimension along the baseline at arrow 2. This creates your 4th and final point to start your spline with. I hope that makes it clearer.

Re: Toolbox Similar
Thanks
In my file this dimension seems less than the tutorial dimension. Do you know the reason?
-
Re: Toolbox Similar
I'm not sure exactly what you mean?
I have always followed the tutorial that way and all of the gears I have created have worked well and meshed well.
Dave.
****EDIT**** If you see a difference between your sketch and the tutorial, then double check each prior step!
-
Re: Toolbox Similar
In tutorial gap between these two points seem big whereas in my file it seems small. I followed tutorial dimension only.
-
Re: Toolbox Similar
Just double check that you have followed each step correctly!
If you have, then keep going and finalise the gear. You will see if there are any problems when you try to mesh two identical gears at the end!
Dave.

Re: Toolbox Similar
I have found the problem. Dimension given is inconsistent. In step18 it is 8mm, it is changed into 4mm in next step but not mentioned. It is mentioned in step26.

My SWX version is standard therefore toolbox is not available. I need a spur gear to complete a model that is in the YouTube video. Is there any website which has similar to toolbox components which I can down load?
Maha,
If you search this forum for "parametric gear" or "involute gear" or use John's Forum Search Results and look at the gear searches you will find a file ready to go. I have posted several versions of parametric involute gears (SWX2014 and SWX2016 versions). They use the technique described in Dave's tutorial except my versions use something like 19 segments to give a more accurate involute profile. The SWX2016 version is simpler than the 2014 version because in 2014 SWX got the ability to set an arc length equal to a straight line length.
You don't want to use the Toolbox versions of the gears anyway as they are merely a poor representation of a gear and nothing close to an involute profile.

Re: Toolbox Similar
hi maha,
this is a free gear profile generator (you just download and install) for spur gear just inter the information you need and it generate 2D dxf file then you can import in solidworks then extrude.
