Precision design is one of the most powerful tools for performing sizing calculations for cylindrical gears. It permits definition of intervals and increments for the most important gear tooth parameters: Module, helix angle, contact angle, and optionally the center distance.
Because it searches through such a large number of variations, this module can, within a very short period of time, find optimum gear configurations targeted to meet a specific criterion.
In the case of planetary gear systems or cylindrical gear trains with an idle gear, users have the option of performing calculations using a predefined wheelbase or predefined center gear reference circle; for cylindrical gears, the wheelbase is either fixed or can be specified in an interval.
