Gear Ratio Calculator

Calculate ratio, output speed, and torque from tooth counts and input speed.

DateMay 15, 2026

Inputs

Input tooth count z120
Output tooth count z260
Input speed n1 (rpm)1,500 rpm
Input torque T1 (Nm)50 Nm
Efficiency η0.97

Results

Ratio3
Rpm2500
Torque2145.5
Efficiency0.97

Formula

i = z2 / z1 | n2 = n1 / i | T2 = T1 * i * η

Assumptions

  • Ideal gear ratio; backlash and elasticity are neglected.
  • Efficiency ? is represented by a single factor.
