How do you calculate Gear Train Radios?

To calculate the gear ratio in a gear train, you need to count the number of teeth on the input gear (the gear that receives power) and the output gear (the gear that transfers power). Then, divide the number of teeth on the output gear by the number of teeth on the input gear. For example, if the output gear has 24 teeth and the input gear has 12 teeth, the gear ratio would be 24/12 or 2:1.
The gear ratio in a gear train determines the relationship between the input and output speed and torque. This is important in many machines and devices, as it allows for the proper transfer of power and control of speed.
Yes, gear train ratios can be changed by altering the number of teeth on the gears. This can be done by replacing the gears with ones that have a different number of teeth or by using an adjustable gear system.
A gear train refers to a series of gears that are connected and work together to transfer power, while a gear system refers to the combination of gears and other components (such as shafts and bearings) that work together to achieve a specific mechanical function.
There are certain limitations to gear train ratio calculations, such as the physical constraints of the gears themselves and the precision of the gear teeth. Additionally, the gear ratio may be affected by external factors such as friction and wear over time.
