## Gears
|
||||
Utilities for making involute gears.
|
||||
|
||||
Formulas from <https://khkgears.net/new/gear_knowledge/gear_technical_reference/involute_gear_profile.html>
|
||||
and <https://www.tec-science.com/mechanical-power-transmission/involute-gear/calculation-of-involute-gears/>
|
||||
|
||||
```involute_gear_profile()``` returns a polygon that can have the bore and spokes, etc, subtracted from it before linear extruding it to 3D.
|
||||
Helical gears can be made using ```twist``` and bevel gears using ```scale``` parameters of ```linear_extrude()```.
|
||||
|
||||
Gears with less than 19 teeth (when pressure angle is 20) are profile shifted to avoid undercutting the tooth root. 7 teeth is considered
|
||||
the practical minimum.
|
||||
|
||||
The clearance between tip and root defaults to module / 6, but can be overridden by setting the ```clearance``` parameter.

||||
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
| ```profile_shift(z, pa)``` | Calculate profile shift for small gears |
|
