Gearbox

thingiverse

This is a complete gearbox, with working gears. Total lengths is 270 x 210. So its a small gearbox. It is a model gearbox. Made in SolidWorks 2016. Print Settings Printer: CubePro Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Resolution: 0,1mm Notes: 200x200mm minimum print bed is required. How I Designed This Step 1 First you make the under part of the gearbox, you will be getting some lengths for your project, and work out the rest. Under part. Step 2 Then you can make the 2 axles and mate it into the under part. Remember to have the measurements with tolerances, to make at tight fit. Axle 1 Axle 2 Step 3 The 2 axles have gears, bearings, note and lock rings. The gears and bearings is a standard part you can find in toolbox. Step 4 With the upper part of the gearbox, you should be able to find all the lengths by yourself, by knowing the other parts lengths. This is a project though. Upper part. Step 5 Mate the upper part into the under part, and the gearbox is almost complete, you have to close it with 2 caps. You just build it after the parts. Cap Custom Section Gearbox project. Objectives: The students should learn how to make a simple gearbox in solidworks, using toolbox, and that you don´t need all information to make a gearbox. They will come though many features in solidworks. Audiences: This is a great fit for intermediate students at solidworks, at college level. Preparation: They should know how to operate in solidworks and know how to find parts in toolbox. They should also know what tolerances are. Steps!: Steps is shown above, but first you need to make sketch of the gearbox parts and find the missing lengths, then you need to find tolerances for every length and know what fit they should have in other parts, (tight or loose fit) Results: The result will come with technician documentation of the project, how did they find the lengths and parts. It will also include all the needed information how to make this gearbox in production.
