Two-Stage Gearbox Design

Class project, ME 329 Mechanical Systems Design. SolidWorks.

The brief was to transmit motor power to a driven sprocket at a set reduction, using off-the-shelf bearings. I sized both gear stages against bending and surface-durability criteria and designed both shafts for static yield and fatigue at each stress concentration. I modeled the complete gear train in SolidWorks (gears, shafts, bearings, motor, and sprocket) to verify fits and assembly order, and drew both shafts for manufacturing.
