GearTrax is intuitively easy to use for the
designer with limited gear experience yet powerful enough for the gear
expert. The animation window shows the spur/helical gear mesh which
updates as the data is changed. It is extremely useful in understanding
how changes to the gear parameters reflects on the gear mesh.
GearTrax is more than a library program.
Each part model is created with it's specific requirements just as a
designer would, but rather than taking hours or days, the part is
created in seconds. GearTrax creates solid models of spur and helical
gears, bevel gears, worm gears, involute splines, timing belt pulleys,
chain sprockets and V-belt pulleys.
GearTrax also integrates with Excel to
create data sheets. Features: Intuitive and simple, yet powerful!

What are involute splines?
Involute splines are commonly used to attach
a gear to a shaft. Normally, involute splines are made in pairs, an
external spline and an internal spline. Internal gears. Creating
internal gear sets has been improved with GearTrax. It is easy to create
a set of gears, one internal and one pinion gear as a matched set.
A spur gear tooth and involute spline tooth
geometry can now be added to any sketch in SolidWorks. This makes it
very easy to add gear teeth to any part or multiple teeth geometry to a
single part. Spur and helical gear teeth are now cut-extruded rather
than the tooth feature boss-extruded on a base feature.
A number of customers asked for this so they
could suppress the tooth pattern and still have the gear “blank” to
check for interference. Also, some thought it would nice if the gear
model more resembled the manufacturing process.
Adding mates to GearTrax products is now
much simpler. All products are created with the center of the gear,
pulley etc., being on a plane. In other words, the length of the belt or
chain center will now be centered on a plane. This is a big improvement
for mating parts in an assembly.
GearTrax (and CamTrax) can be licensed over

CamTrax helps the designer
create solid models of virtually every type of cam with the
dynamic motion control parameters your system requires.
During the design, CamTrax
generates charts when linked with Excel and adds a profile
list to your drawing. Camnetics, Inc. is dedicated to
providing the design engineer with accessible software for
developing high speed machine cams! CamTrax standard cam
types include cylindrical cams, plate (aka disk) cams and
linear cams.
Choose the follower type that
the design requires; on center translating, off center
translating, swinging arm and flat-faced reciprocating.
Selecting different motion
synthesis is a snap with CamTrax. Choose between virtually
any standard cam motion with a couple mouse clicks.
With Excel the designer can
analyze the cam motions and compare different motion
synthesis. Don't have Excel? Output can also be to a text
file! Charted are displacement, velocity, acceleration,
pressure angle, cam shaft torque, radius of curvature,
contact stress and normal force.
