Gear Examples

Gears are essential components in many mechanical systems, transmitting power and motion between rotating shafts. Among the different types of gears, spur and planetary gears are widely used in various industrial applications due to their simple design and high efficiency.

With this package, users can quickly build models of complex mechanical systems that involve spur and planetary gears, such as transmissions, gearboxes and differentials. The models can be used to analyze system behavior under different operating conditions, optimize gear design parameters and investigate the effects of gear dynamics on system performance.
