Hi,
I am trying to find different gear tooth counts based on an equation for a gear ratio. I want the number of teeth for each gear to be from 20 to 60 teeth. The equation for the gear ratio is:
N = (G1 * G4) / ((G1-G3) * (G2-G1))
How would I go about getting a 4 column matrix with all the possible tooth count combinations?
Here is what I have so far:
N = 200; % Gear Ratio
G1 = 20:1:60; % Gear 1 tooth count
G2 = 20:1:60; % Gear 2 tooth count
G3 = 20:1:60; % Gear 3 tooth count
G4 = 20:1:60; % Gear 4 tooth count
N = (G1.*G4)./((G1-G3).*(G2-G1)); % Gear Ratio calculation
Also, is there a way to go about getting a range of the gear ratio as well? For example, if I wanted anything within +/- 5% of the desired ratio.
Thanks!
