Gear Ratio Calculator

Calculate ratio, output speed and theoretical torque for single or multi-stage gear trains.

CALCULATOR

Enter values

USAGE

How to use it

  1. Enter driver and driven tooth counts for each stage.
  2. Add input RPM and optional torque.
  3. Add stages to obtain the total ratio.

FORMULA

Calculation

i = Zdriven/Zdriver; nout = nin/i; Tout = Tin×i

Example

20-tooth driver and 60-tooth driven gear gives 3:1
