Generating a spur gear set

“

- [Instructor] With both shafts in place, now it's time to build a gear connection. There are several different types of gearing connections built in to the design accelerators of AutoDesk Inventor, bevel gears, worm gears, and spur gears. For this design, a spur gear is the most appropriate, though many of the options that present themselves in the spur gear generator will be present for worm gear, as well as bevel gear. I'll start the spur gear generator, and I can use multiple different types of calculation. I can calculate the module and number of teeth, the number of teeth, the center distance, the total unit calculation, or the module. For this design, the shafts are kept in position based on the center points of an existing casting, so I'll use module and number of teeth. I'll set the gear ratio that I desire to 1.8, and the center distance is four inches, so I'll proceed on to selecting how the gears will be calculated. The first gear is the shaft that has the large cylinder…
