At a glance:ratio = driven/driver; ω_out = ω_in/ratio; τ_out = τ_in·ratio. Complements torque and rpm.

Formula

ratio = N_driven/N_driver.

ω_out = ω_in/ratio.

$$\text{ratio} = \frac{N_1}{N_2}, \quad \omega_2 = \frac{\omega_1}{\text{ratio}}, \quad T_2 = T_1 \cdot \text{ratio}$$

How to Use

  1. Enter teeth and input speed/torque.
  2. The tool returns ratio, output speed and torque.

Case Studies

driver=10, driven=30, ω_in=100

ratio=3, ω_out=33.3 rpm.

FAQ

More teeth driven?

Reduces speed, increases torque (mechanical advantage).
