Simple gear pair output speed
Estimate output speed for one ideal external gear pair from tooth counts and input rotational speed.
Method and scope
n₂ = n₁ × z₁/z₂.
Use simple gear pair output speed for educational calculation or a clearly scoped arithmetic estimate. Intended for Learners, General educational use.
Inputs- Input rotational speed — rpm, rad/s
- Driver gear tooth count — 1
- Driven gear tooth count — 1
SOURCE AND LIMITS
Assumptions: The gears are an ideal external pair with compatible pitch and no slip. Input speed is stated as a positive magnitude.
Limitations: Real gear trains have losses and may include compound stages not represented here.
