Gear Designer

Involute gears that mesh, by module or diametral pitch

Spur, helical and herringbone gears, generated the way a cutter makes them. Design one gear or a meshing pair, an internal ring or a rack, and download STL, STEP, DXF or SVG.

What it will do

Gears done the proper way

Module or diametral pitch

ISO 54 modules and the common diametral pitches; 20° standard, plus 14½°, 25° and stub forms.

Generated teeth

Involute flanks and the true trochoidal root from rolling the rack — undercut shown as cut.

Spur, helical, herringbone

Any helix angle and hand; the pair takes the opposite hand automatically.

Pairs, rings and racks

A meshing pair at the right centre distance, an internal ring gear, or a rack.

Profile shift with limits

Shift each gear, with the undercut and pointed-tooth limits from DIN 3960 shown.

Numbers to check against

Span width over k teeth and dimension over pins — what you measure on the real part.

Backlash the standard way

DIN 3967 tooth thinning series, or your own allowance.

Hubs, bores, spokes

Set screws, keyways, splines and hex bores; spokes; and laser-cut layer-cake gears.

The same files

STEP, STL, DXF, SVG and PNG, with print compensation in the STL only.

Meanwhile, the Timing Pulley Generator is ready

Same interface, same exports, same token pricing.
