Gear Ratio Calculator

Calculate gear ratio, output RPM, and torque multiplier from driving and driven gear tooth counts and input speed.

How to Use the Gear Ratio Calculator

  1. Enter the number of teeth on the driving (input) gear.
  2. Enter the number of teeth on the driven (output) gear.
  3. Enter the input shaft speed in RPM.

計算式

Gear Ratio = Driven Teeth / Driving Teeth. Output RPM = Input RPM / Gear Ratio. Torque Multiplier = Gear Ratio (ignoring losses).

よくある質問

What does gear ratio mean?
Gear ratio is the ratio of the number of teeth on the driven gear to the driving gear. A ratio >1 reduces speed and multiplies torque; <1 increases speed.
Does this account for efficiency losses?
No. This calculator assumes 100% mechanical efficiency. Real gears typically have 95–99% efficiency per mesh.
Is this calculator free?
Yes, all OhMyCalc calculators are completely free to use.
