Re: pic: Help with solid works gears

A really useful page I use quite a bit: http://computers.martinchick.com/spur_gear.html

You'd want to calculate the (Pitch Diameter)/2 for both gears, add them, and that'll be your distance between centers. I usually add about 2-5 thou (0.002"-0.005") to the sum, just for tolerances in manufacturing.
