Calculating…

How it's calculated

Ratio = Z_driven ÷ Z_driver n_out = n_in ÷ ratio T_out = T_in × ratio × η

The same calculation works for sprockets and timing pulleys. Typical efficiency per stage: spur and helical gears 97–99%, chain 95–98%, worm gears 50–90% depending on ratio.

For multi-stage gearboxes, multiply the stage ratios and the stage efficiencies.
