Gear Ratio when Two Shafts A and B are Geared Together Calculator

Calculate Gear Ratio





Formula

The formula to calculate Gear Ratio (G) is:

\[ G = \frac{N_B}{N_A} \]

Where:

Definition

The Gear Ratio is the ratio of the output gear speed to the input gear speed or the ratio of the number of teeth on the gear to that on the pinion.

Speed of Shaft B in RPM is the speed at which the shaft tends to vibrate violently in the transverse direction.

Speed of Shaft A in RPM is the speed at which the shaft tends to vibrate violently in the transverse direction.

How to calculate Gear Ratio when Two Shafts A and B are Geared Together

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ G = \frac{N_B}{N_A} \]

Evaluating:

\[ G = \frac{0.1}{9} \]

The Gear Ratio is 0.0111111111111111.
