Six dedicated gear designers

Each gear type has its own tool with the exact parameters and calculations that type demands — not a generic form that half-fits everything.

Spur Gear

The most common gear type. Straight teeth, parallel shafts, efficient power transfer. Perfect starting point for most gear train designs.

ModuleTeeth countPressure angleFace widthBore dia

Helical Gear

Angled teeth wrap around the gear cylinder for smoother, quieter operation. Better load distribution than spur gears under high torque.

Normal moduleHelix angleTransverse moduleFace width

Bevel Gear

Conical form for intersecting shafts, typically at 90°. Used to change the direction of rotation in differentials, hand tools, and industrial drives.

Pitch angleShaft angleCone distanceBack cone

Worm Gear

High reduction ratios in compact packages. The worm thread meshes with a worm gear wheel — ideal for right-angle drives needing high torque multiplication.

Rack & Pinion

Converts rotary motion to linear. Accurately calculate travel per revolution, total rack length, and tooth geometry for CNC axes, steering, and actuators.

Pinion teethRack lengthTravel/revFace width

Internal (Ring) Gear

Teeth on the inner circumference of an annular ring. Compact epicyclic arrangements for planetary gearboxes, automatic transmissions, and robotics joints.

See your gear update as you type

Every parameter change instantly re-renders the 2D gear profile in the browser. No "Generate" button, no page reload. Adjust module, teeth count, helix angle, bore diameter — the SVG redraws in milliseconds.

  • Full involute tooth profile geometry, not just circles
  • Annotated pitch diameter and outer diameter labels
  • Grid-scaled viewport adjusts to gear size automatically
  • Bore hole and crosshair reference lines shown
  • Validation alert when parameters are geometrically invalid

Production-ready files in four formats

Every export uses the same calculated geometry as the live preview — what you see is exactly what you get.

SVG Scalable Vector Graphic

Resolution-independent vector file of the full gear profile with pitch circle and bore annotations. Use in Inkscape, Illustrator, or any SVG-capable CAD tool.

  • True involute tooth geometry
  • Pitch & outer diameter reference circles
  • Embeds directly into technical drawings
  • Infinitely scalable, no pixel rasterisation

DXF AutoCAD Drawing Exchange

Industry-standard 2D CAD format compatible with AutoCAD, FreeCAD, LibreCAD, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and virtually every professional CAD package.

  • Polyline gear outline ready for extrusion
  • Bore and pitch circles on separate layers
  • Coordinate origin at gear center
  • Ready for import and 3D extrusion

STL 3D Printable Mesh

A 2.5D extruded solid mesh built directly from the gear profile. Load it into your slicer and print immediately — no intermediate CAD steps required.

  • Face-width extrusion depth from parameters
  • Watertight solid triangulated mesh
  • Compatible with PrusaSlicer, Cura, Bambu Studio
  • Good starting geometry for further refinement

PNG Raster Image

High-resolution raster snapshot of the gear preview for documentation, datasheets, technical reports, and presentations where vectors aren't supported.

  • Transparent background option
  • Suitable for technical documentation
  • Consistent with the on-screen preview
  • Instant browser-side rendering

Engineering-accurate gear mathematics

Every dimension displayed and exported is computed from first principles using standard gear geometry formulas, not lookup tables or approximations.

Pitch Diameter
d = m × z
Outside Diameter
da = m × (z + 2)
Root Diameter
df = m × (z − 2.5)
Transverse Module
mt = mn / cos β
Gear Ratio
i = z₂ / z₁
Center Distance
a = (d₁ + d₂) / 2
// Quick Dimensions
Pitch Diameter: 64.00 mm
Outside Dia: 68.00 mm
Root Diameter: 59.00 mm
Face Width: 25.00 mm
 
// Helical extras
Helix Angle β: 15.00°
