Powerful Features for Smarter Gear Design

Everything you need to design, calculate and automate gear design, in one cloud-based platform.

No installation Access anywhere Secure & reliable
GEARKITE app with gear geometry and strength inputs, calculated results summary and a 3D helical gear pair
01

Accurate Gear Profile Generation

From parameters to precise profile.

Define spur and helical gear pairs by centre distance, normal module, pressure angle, helix angle, number of teeth and face width. Set the profile shift, reference profile and tooth tolerances, and inspect the meshing pair in 2D or 3D.

  • Spur & helical gear geometry
  • Profile shift coefficient per gear
  • Reference profiles & tooth tolerances
  • 2D / 3D views with CAD inspection
Gear geometry inputs with a 2D view of the meshing gear pair and centre distance dimension
Accurate profiles with real-time preview
02

Faster Design Process

Less switching, more designing.

Geometry and strength live side by side in one screen. Enter the load case (power, speed, service life, lubricant, material and load factors), click Calculate and the results summary updates instantly. Save each design as a project file, reopen it any time, and switch to Review for a clean, full-width look at the results.

  • Geometry & strength in one view
  • ISO 6336:2019 calculation method
  • Save & open project files
  • One-click sheet & STEP export
Geometry and strength inputs with the results summary, safety factors and Export Sheet button
Less switching, more designing
03

Manufacturing-Ready Data Tables

Reliable data for real-world production.

Turn calculated gear designs into structured engineering data. Switch between the result summary, the drawing table and the technical datasheet. Every value, from tip and root diameters to base tangent length, over-pins dimensions and safety factors, is laid out per gear and exports to a spreadsheet without retyping.

  • Drawing table & technical datasheet
  • Base tangent length & over pins
  • Root & flank safety factors
  • One-click Excel export

Structured data for manufacturing
04

2D / 3D Gear Design Export

Seamless transition to your CAD workflow.

Generate accurate gear geometry directly from your calculated design. Export 2D drawings, 3D models and standard file formats to integrate with your downstream engineering and manufacturing processes.

  • 2D drawings (PDF / DXF)
  • 3D models (STEP / IGES / STL)
  • CAD-ready geometry
  • Custom export settings
STEP (3D) download is included in Pro and Enterprise
Review screen with drawing table, 3D helical gear pair and Export STEP button
Ready for CAD and downstream workflows
05

Gear Geometry Configuration & Sizing

Design with requirements, not just geometry.

Start from your constraints instead of a fixed geometry. Enter the centre distance, required ratio and ranges for module, helix angle, teeth and profile shift. GEARKITE generates every valid configuration, and one click applies the one you choose to your design.

  • Range-based configuration search
  • Ratio tolerance & centre distance
  • Undercut-risk warnings
  • Export configurations to a sheet
Configuration search listing valid configurations with module, teeth, helix angle and profile shift
Every valid configuration, one click to apply
06

Batch Design Automation

More designs. Less effort.

When one design becomes dozens of design cases, Batch Mode lets you upload them as an Excel sheet, run them all automatically and review the results side by side. Save hours of repetitive work and focus on making the right design decisions.

  • Upload design cases from Excel
  • Geometry & strength in one run
  • Pass / fail for every design
  • Download results as a sheet
Batch run in every plan: up to 5, 10, 100 or 1,000 designs per batch
Batch run from an uploaded Excel sheet with pass/fail status, 2D view and results
Automate hundreds of design cases
