Enter the input velocity and gear ratio into the calculator to determine the output gear ratio velocity.
Gear Velocity Formula
The following equation is used to calculate the .
GV = IV * GR
- Where GV is the gear velocity (output velocity, m/s)
- IV is the input velocity (m/s)
- GR is the gear ratio
What is a Gear Velocity?
Definition:
A gear velocity describes the output velocity of a gear system given an input speed and velocity ratio.
How to Calculate Gear Velocity?
Example Problem:
The following example outlines the steps and information needed to calculate Gear Velocity.
First, determine the input velocity. In this example, the input velocity is found to be 30 m/s.
Next, determine the gear ratio . For this problem, the gear ratio is found to be 4/1 = 4.
Finally, calculate the Gear Velocity using the formula above:
GV = IV * GR
GV = 30 * 4
GV = 120 m/s
