This online tool simplifies the creation of involute gear profiles. Specify the number of teeth, module, and fine-tune parameters like clearance and backlash. The tool then generates accurate gear profiles based on the input and allows users to download them as DXF files for seamless integration with CAD software.

| Circular pitch (the circumference of the pitch circle divided by the number of teeth): | |
| Pressure Angle (common values are 14.5, 20 and 25 degrees): | |
| Clearance (minimal distance between the apex of a tooth and the trough of the other gear; in length units): | |
| Backlash (minimal distance between meshing gears; in length units): | |
| Profile Shift (indicates what portion of gear one's addendum height should be shifted to gear two. E.g., a value of 0.1 means the adddendum of gear two is increased by a factor of 1.1 while the height of the addendum of gear one is reduced to 0.9 of its normal height): | |
| Gear 1 Tooth Count (n1 > 0: external gear; n1 = 0: rack; n1 < 0: internal gear): | |
| Gear 1 Pitch Circle Diameter | |
| Gear 1 Outer Circle Diameter | |
| Gear 1 Center Hole Diameter (0 for no hole): | |
| Gear 2 Tooth Count: | |
| Gear 2 Pitch Circle Diameter | |
| Gear 2 Outer Circle Diameter | |
| Gear 2 Center Hole Diameter (0 for no hole): | |
| Gear Centers Distance | |

Basic Lewis bending estimate for the active gear. Geometry values come from the gear generator above.
This calculator provides a simplified Lewis bending estimate for spur gear tooth-root stress. It accepts either transmitted torque or tangential force at the pitch circle, converts between them using the pitch diameter, assumes the load is represented by the optional service and distribution factors, and assumes the selected Lewis form factor is appropriate for the tooth count and pressure angle.
The pass/fail result compares calculated bending stress against the entered allowable bending stress and target safety factor. It does not replace a full AGMA or ISO gear rating and does not check contact stress, pitting, wear, scuffing, fatigue life, lubrication, heat treatment, rim thickness, shaft or bearing deflection, manufacturing quality, or detailed dynamic effects.

Barth velocity factor is disabled, so rotational speed does not affect bending stress.
