Planetary gear system question


kac

Recommended Posts

I am making a product that requires a planetary gear system and having trouble with making the negative gear for the outer rim because the teeth would be backwards. Is there any suggestions on a work around for this?

 

Thanks

This is a good free site for creating regular external, rack and pinion, and internal gear combinations.  I usually trace with 3 point arcs to get smooth gears because these export as faceted.

And a site for multiple standard gears (more than two linked gears are possible in a single export):

I did subtract a gear from a disc but the tooth structure for an internal vrs external gear are different so they will never mesh. Printed a set out and they don't work no matter what. 

 

Thanks sets ill check that site out.
