Spur gear calculations
To work out the centre distance and outside diameter for the above spur gears and pinions, the
following formula should be used.
Centre distance (for spur gears only)
Add to gether the number of teeth in both gears, then divide this figure by twice the DP the
resulting figure will be the centre distance.
i.e. for two 100 DP gears one 30T and one 45T the centre distance in Inches=(30 + 45) / (2 * 100)
The centre distance that the calculation returns is for the two spur gears in tight mesh. Some
allowance will have to be made for backlash. This amount will vary depending on the tooth size of
the gears and the manufacturing tolerances.
Outside diameter (for spur gears only)
Add 2 to the number of teeth in the gear, then divide this figure by the DP the resulting figure
will be the outside diameter.
i.e. for a 64 DP gear with 22T the outside diameter in Inches=(22 + 2) / 64
The outside diameter that the calculation returns is for the gear at its correct size. However,
this size will vary slightly due to manufacturing tolerances.
Module to DP (for use with the above calculations
when using MOD. tooth size gears)
Divide 25.4 by the Module(MOD.) size, the resulting figure will be the DP equivalent of the MOD.
size.
i.e. for a 0.4MOD. gear the DP=25.4 / 0.4
'Corrected gears' are indicated by a * mark which follows their
actual number of teeth. Following this in brackets will be the number of teeth which should be used
when doing any calculations involving these gears. (see example below for two 64 DP spur gears)
To calculate the centre distance for a 13T * (14T) pinion and a 22T spur gear.
The number of teeth which should be used are 14T and 22T, this will give the correct centre
distance. If you use 13T and 22T the centre distance will be incorrect.
To help you with these calculations, two on-line
calculators are available to calculate the centre distance and outside diameter of spur gears.
Results are displayed in both Inches and Millimetres.

- All helical gears are manufactured from Brass.
- These special gears are duplicates of the worm wheels shown in the 'Fine pitch tooth range (100 DP)' Worm and Wheel gear sets section. Except they have a LEFT HAND HELIX, which allows them to be meshed with the RIGHT HAND HELIX worm wheels. This gets rid of the need to use spur gears as a secondary drive when space is a problem on width in some applications.
- DO NOT TRY TO MESH THE WORM WITH THE LEFT HAND HELIX GEAR.
- Please remember to state all required information on your order. (i.e. Number of teeth, Bore Sizes, Gear type etc) otherwise we will be unable to process your order.
