Designing Gears for 0.2kg Weight Transfer

AI Thread Summary
To design gears for moving a weight of 0.2kg over 0.1905m, the required torque is calculated to be 0.37361 N-m. Key parameters to consider include the number of teeth on both the pinion and driven gear, gear type (spur or helical), pressure angle, and diametral pitch. Additional factors such as tooth thickness, edge breaks, and materials also play a significant role in the design process. Understanding the application context can help refine the design requirements. Engaging with gear design resources can provide further insights into these considerations.

Hello all ,
We have to design gear to move a weight of 0.2kg over a distance of 0.1905m so we know the torque that comes up to =0.2*9.81*0.1905=0.37361N-m ...how do I decide the diameter ...number of teeth on pinion and driven gear ...wat are all the parameters shuld I consider for designing ..any link would be great to help me ..sorry if the question was novice with very less details ..but want to learn ...so please help me ..thanks a lot in advance

Oh, you'll find the world of gears fascinating...[/sarcasm]

Either way, things to consider when designing gears:
Number of Teeth on both pinion and gear
Face with on both
Type of Gear: Spur, helical
Pressure Angle
Diametral Pitch
Tooth Thicknesses
Edge Breaks
Addendum/Dedendum factors
Root Fillets
Speeds/Pitch Line Velocities
Materials

Now, it seems as if your task might be a bit more trivial than what I described, could you explain the application a bit more?
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
