Onshape How To:Gears

[@domenicb8938]

9:16 if you don’t see “move Origin” here is a workaround. Draw the line that he does but then use the transform tool. Click the small spur gear and select “translate by line” from the drop-down menu. After that click the line you drew. Hope this helps!

[@omar_ahmad]

Thanks a lot, I was struggling on this for a quite a bit.

[@jimmydyurko]

For users unfamiliar with the TRANSLATE tool, I made a short video showing how to move the gears into position using translate. here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZurmnmPgJmKma8 Thanks Chris & Jim CM for such an awesome video and domenic b for pointing out this solution.

[@nullfox955]

I don’t have the move origin tool, why not

[@jimmydyurko]

@@nullfox955 It's probably a newer version than he's using. check the video I posted above it shows how to get around that problem. It will also help you move any parts around in the part studio

[@exceptionalideas2947]

Version 8 of the add on has it I think However version 9 only uses sketch a vertex or mate connector feature

[@PCRduino]

This is the best tutorial I've seen in a very long time. Kudos to y'all, and thanks!

[@MidnightMaker]

Thank you SO much for making this video. Gears was my favorite part of my Mechanical Engineering curriculum.

[@trevorheatherfoster6122]

I've been using 3D Cad since CadKey6 Dos, Alibre, SolidWorks, Fusion 360 etc. Have been messing with Onshape for a while now and keep getting blown away at how good it is, the future in bright for 3D Cad as I've seen a great deal of structured progress with this software. Sick of the expense of SW and the constant bugs, keep up the good work Onshape. BTW, this is one of the best tutorials I have seen by far :)

[@johnlongphre515]

I like how you tell us why we should or shouldn't do it in a certain way vs. another way, and why.

[@neilnerd8111]

Great explanation! This was really easy to follow along with and understand. Kudos!

[@silentman625]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@tp7886]

You deserve so many more likes. This was straight forward and very well presented. Thank you very much.

[@ardespmaker]

Really well done - straight forward and easy to understand - thanks for this !

[@DorianVasco]

Thats really a perfect tempo to really understand what you are doing! Nice!

[@gregblastfpv3623]

16:15 You're rotating the blue gear. It has 12 pins and thus 12 holes for the other gear's pins. Which makes a total of 24 sections. 360/24=15.

[@KabonkNo1]

This is a really good tutorial. Thanks!

[@ToolsAandLogic]

VERY NICE EXPLANATION.. IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT THE GEAR CAN BE MADE IN OTHER PLANE ? RIGHT NOW IT IS IN FRONT PLANE. HOW TO CHANGE THE PLANE OF A GEAR?

[@JacksonSubNScaleModelRailroad]

I tried to follow along and did the best I could. I was able to build both gears, and After figuring out the differences between moving the origin and the new translate option, I was able to move the gear. But after that I couldn't follow along anymore because a lot of the features have been changed or renamed. I got to the copy of the borehole, and couldn't go any further because I couldn't figure out how to do that.

[@yairkochalsky6571]

thank you so much, this is the best tutorial ever :D. helped me a lot

I don't have the option to move origin. Is there a way to fix this?

[@naqibar4478]

Same here im kinda stuck now

[@domenicb8938]

Sorry if this is a little late but here is how you can do it. Draw the line that he does but then use the transform tool. Click the small spur gear and select “translate by line” from the drop-down menu. After that click the line you drew. Hope this helps!

Very good video. I'm just a beginner, can you teach how to make a threaded tube? and how to make a screw and its nut.

[@skysurferuk]

Great explanation. How about a rack? I'm trying to create a claw mechanism...

[@julespoulain5198]

Please help on 11:39 even after having activated sketch two I still can't pick the little circles to extrude them !! I've redone all steps and I still can't fix my problem. If any of you guys have the solution... Btw great tutorial really well explained thanks ;)

[@ellentao6559]

Hi Im having the same problem, were you able to figure out how to fix this?

[@julespoulain5198]

@@ellentao6559 Well yeah, I came back at 10:08 where he uses the "Use project converter" button and as he does, I selected the inner circle of the gears (while modifying sketch 2) with this tool before to draw the line between them, and therefore, I was able to select the little circles to extrude them. It took me a big hour to figure that out, but it took me 2 minutes to resolve it ! Hope it helps :)

Hello, great tutorial. Do You know how to make textured surface on curved surface?

Incredible. Great, clear video - thanks.

Very helpful and clear, thanks!

How do you make a hexagon extrude in the gear?

[@gunnarbechTV]

oh, exacly what i needed, it helped very much! thanks

[@parvizaghayarov935]

It is good method but realy useful for 4 gera train or Compound gear?

[@reubengreen9810]

BRILLIANT VIDEO! Thanks

[@Nayvixs]

I don't have the move origins option. What should I do?

[@sambartelet3265]

can someone explain how i can rotate the gears so it lays flat i also cant to it with transform

[@MoMadNU]

The Spur Gear tool places the gear on the front face. I don't know how you got it to not be flat. Sometimes you have to go back to the beginning of the video and start all over again vs. trying to fix it.

[@juliocoliveira]

thanks, useful information.

[@richardepps8500]

How are you clicking the mouse to and manually rotating gears. Mine both spin but at the same speed. But the gears are 3:1

[@victorymix115]

Thank you so much it worked really well

[@tanayranjan6422]

can we make internal gear from this script?

[@sushicat5005]

When i make the back plate i only get a hole in one of the gears, like i can only select one gear hole when i try to extrude. What am i doing wrong?

[@vincentgeurts6386]

Great video, but with the latest version I rant into an issue I can't resolve. The “move Origin” has disappeared in v9 and the work around is only partially working, when you use the transform tool the pitch diameter of the moved gear will not move with the moved gear resulting you don't have a the pitch diameter reverence on the moved gear anymore, do you have a solution for this?

[@alexarvidsson3788]

Thanks, this help me a lot!

[@daveka9279]

cool vid, but how do u drag the gears in the assembly?

[@MoMadNU]

Without Mate Features, left click and drag will just move them across their sketch plane. With Mate Features, in this case Revolute, left click drag will rotate them

[@ajaytechhyperloop2138]

Awesome 👌 👏

[@ruellerz]

omg this is all amazing

[@zip7806]

Plugins are why I switched to OnShape after 15 years of Solid works.

[@botpro160]

i think you also made a mistake. When putting the gear ratio ( 14:52 ) you have to put output/input (in your case 48/12 and not 12/48) thats also why you did put 15x2 instead of 15 in the revolute edit later on.

[@lemoinexavier]

You have soo many vids over Onshape. I can´t find the How to start with Onshape. I´m I wrong? ( I hope.. 😉) Great vids btw

[@dea-animator1906]

I din't have an move origin

[@llYuki0okami]

10:43 its not scaling like this for me

[@stanthevanman5565]

I feel like Patrick Bateman is teaching me about gears 11:22 especially

[@fork2309]

this feels like a bob ross video if he did cad

[@Allan-mf1he]

Great tutorial but outdated. Move origin not on gear menu and clocking angle added. Easy enough to figure out. Hope they add more gear types and cam belt pully. So I suggest start with the sketch instead of starting with a gear.

[@circle7motorsports]

do you know how to change the angle of the gear I need to lay one flat

[@samiraggarwal7956]

Hi, thanks for this video! Question: How would I design a piece that is moved linearly by this gear? Is there a way to create the same module for the linear piece as well? Trying to make something like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHu0hoGpg5uGpZI
