Re: Andymark gear CAD files

Also, if anyone has a tutorial on creating gears in Inventor, it would work just as well.

Thanks in advance.
The 1323 library has been down for a decent amount of time. We haven't had time to make the new layout and get parts sorted, we have about 500-1000+ parts that need to be uploaded etc... If anyone has a decent amount of spare time and knows HTML/CSS/MYSQL etc.../ would like to work on it PM me. We'd highly appreciate it.

But to answer your question you can find CAD drawings of similar gears to Andymark here:

http://wcproducts.net/cad/ - Most are 1:1 to AM's but you'd have to check each page. We try to make 1:1 drop ins.

You can also use:

http://www.rushgears.com/Tech_Tools/...fromHomeP age

Just type in 20DP - 14.5 PA and the tooth size you'd like. Download the model and modify to make an AndyMark gear. Unsure if there is another online database of AM gear models. I'm sure you can email AndyMark and they would be more than happy to send you the models.
