Method
Formula, when it applies, and when it does not
Resolve ideal output speed and efficiency-adjusted output torque from driver and driven tooth count with a transmission efficiency.
i = z₂/z₁; n₂ = n₁/i; T₂ = T₁iη
When
- One ideal external gear pair
- Constant input speed and torque
- No gear strength check
Don’t
- This screen covers one ideal external gear pair with a user-entered efficiency. It excludes tooth geometry, mesh force, strength, backlash, lubrication, shaft/bearing load, thermal behavior, vibration, noise, duty cycle, and gearbox or component selection.
