Can a gear ratio be used to determine output?

Can a gear ratio be used to determine output?

However, the gear ratio can still be used to determine the output of a gearbox. Let’s see how this illustration consists of two gear sets. This gear set has pinion with 10 teeth and a gear with 30 teeth. The second gear set consists of opinion with 10 teeth and a gear with 40 teeth.

How to calculate the number of teeth in gear 1?

The calculation is really easy, it is just not completly explained. The ratio for (e.g.) gear 1 is defined to be 4. The ratio of 4 is split into the constant gear N2/N1 and the gearpair NG1/NP1. N2/N2 is assumed to be 1,25. Calculate multiple values of 2,25 and 4,2, since the teeth numbers are integers.

How is the base radius of a gear measured?

as a ratio between the number of teeth of the output gear and the number of teeth of the input gear as a ratio between the base radius of the output gear and the base radius of the input gear The base radius is measured from the gear center of rotation up to the point of contact of the teeth.

How to check your gear ratio without removing the cover?

One way to determine your gear ratio is to check the tag attached to the front differential cover by the cover bolts. On the tag there should be some numbering such as 3.54 or 3.73, either of those numbers would indicate the stock axle ratio.
