Geartrax 2021 Jun 2026
: Offers non-circular and high-reduction gear options for specialty robotics and kinematic designs. Core Technical Features and UI Enhancements
Including elliptical gears and cycloidal drives.
: The 2021 edition fully aligns with AGMA (American Gear Manufacturers Association) and ISO standards.
Gear teeth are now "cut" into the blank, more closely mimicking real manufacturing.
GearTrax 2021 is a specialized CAD plug-in designed by to automate the creation of complex drive components like gears, pulleys, and sprockets within 3D modeling software like SolidWorks , Autodesk Inventor , and Solid Edge . Product Overview geartrax 2021
The engineering and manufacturing landscape demands precision, speed, and seamless integration between design software and production machinery. For professionals working with complex drive components, stands out as a leading software solution for CAD designers needing to create accurate gear models within their favorite solid modeling environments.
Review the real-time tooth profile matrix. Check the calculated center distance to ensure your housing design accommodates the gear set.
Automation and reminders were another area of improvement. GearTrax 2021 introduced configurable maintenance schedules and alerting that reduced the cognitive load on teams. Instead of relying on memory or siloed calendars, users could set inspection intervals, calibration thresholds, and warranty expirations; the system would then surface upcoming actions via email or in-app notifications. For organizations with safety-critical equipment or compliance requirements, this reduced risk by making preventive care routine rather than reactive.
: Creates parts in seconds that would otherwise take hours of manual drafting. : Offers non-circular and high-reduction gear options for
GearTrax acts as an intuitive designer's tool that bridges the gap between complex gear geometry and ready-to-use 3D models. It allows users to define parameters (like teeth count, diametral pitch, and pressure angle) and instantly generates the corresponding 3D geometry. Core Capabilities
Choose the tab corresponding to the component you need to build (e.g., Spur Gear, Bevel Gear, or Sprocket).
: All products are now created with the center of the component (gear, pulley, etc.) aligned on a plane. This significantly simplifies adding mates in an assembly.
The software features an active simulation window that updates immediately as variables change. This window highlights real-time mesh interactions, providing clear visual warnings if user-defined parameters create mathematically unsound or physically impossible configurations. GearTrax Standard vs. GearTrax PRO Gear teeth are now "cut" into the blank,
GearTrax 2021 integrates with Excel for data management and reporting. New Enhancements in GearTrax 2021
Click the create button to build the native, fully editable 3D part or assembly file directly in your CAD program.
: Features updated compatibility links to seamlessly match the 2021 service packs of SolidWorks, Inventor, and Solid Edge.
Review the calculated properties, such as pitch diameter, base diameter, and contact ratio.
: Supports spur gears, helical gears, bevel gears, internal gear sets, worm gears, involute splines, timing belt pulleys, chain sprockets, and V-belt pulleys.
