Some important news about GearTrax
Involute splines. What are
involute splines? Involute splines
are commonly used to attach a gear
to a shaft. Normally, involute
splines are made in pairs, an
external spline and an internal
spline.
Internal gears. Creating
internal gear sets has been improved
with GearTrax. It is easy to create
a set of gears, one internal and one
pinion gear as a matched set.
A spur gear tooth and involute
spline tooth geometry can now be
added to any sketch in SolidWorks.
This makes it very easy to add gear
teeth to any part or multiple teeth
geometry to a single part.
Spur and helical gear teeth are
now cut-extruded rather than the
tooth feature boss-extruded on a
base feature. A number of customers
asked for this so they could
suppress the tooth pattern and still
have the gear “blank” to check for
interference. Also, some thought it
would nice if the gear model more
resembled the manufacturing process.
Adding mates to GearTrax
products is now much simpler. All
products are created with the center
of the gear, pulley etc., being on a
plane. In other words, the length
of the belt or chain center will now
be centered on a plane. This is a
big improvement for mating parts in
an assembly.
GearTrax (and CamTrax) can be
licensed over a network.
