gearsInMesh

Program for calculating the geometry of involute gears

This MATLAB library provides a set of functions for working with involute gears. It allows you to:

• Calculate involute gear geometry
• Plot a single gear
• Plot multiple gears in mesh
• Animate gears in mesh

The functions support both involute spur gears and helical involute gears.

Graphics dependency

For graphical output, the library uses the draw19 package, which is available on MATLAB File Exchange:

Please install draw19 and add it to your MATLAB path before using the visualization and animation functions.

User guide

A quick user guide describing the workflow and main functions is available here:

This toolbox can be useful for education, demonstration of gear meshing, and preliminary analysis of gear geometry.
