Crown Wheel and Pinion mechanism

Designing a Crown Wheel and Pinion Mechanism in SolidWorks 2018 is a complex task that requires precision and attention to detail. To begin, open SolidWorks 2018 and create a new part document by selecting "Part" from the start page menu. Name your part and set up the units of measurement as required. Next, draw two circles on separate planes to represent the crown wheel and pinion gears. Use the sketch tools in SolidWorks to dimension and constrain these circles accurately. For instance, you can create a horizontal line to define the center point of each circle, then use the "Circular Pattern" tool to replicate the pattern for both gears. Switch to the design tree and create an assembly by selecting the two gear sketches. Use the "Mate" constraint to align the two parts in space, ensuring they are properly seated on their respective shafts. Define the rotational axis of each gear using the "Axis" tool, then apply a "Gear" feature from the assembly toolbar to generate the tooth profiles for both gears. To optimize the gear design and reduce noise levels, analyze the gear mesh by selecting the two gears and clicking on the "Gear Mesh" analysis in the "Analysis" tab. SolidWorks will calculate the stress and vibration of the gear system based on the specified parameters.
