Help with Mechanical gear assembl

[Anonymous]

Hello, I am trying to make some functional gears mechanisms, but i'm having problems because I can not get the correct movement constraints for the assembly. I've read a lot of information, but I couldn't find anything useful.

If you can please help me, it would be awesome.

See the images below. Thanks

Hi, i think you should use keyframe animations for each gear, by calculating by yourself the correct ratio.

But i think you don't have to set Flat or Following tangents in the curve editor, just use straight point to point curves, or you might lose the syncro (tangents might be differents as you have different speeds).

But i know this could be a limit for your animation.

I think i will use python to manage this animation, using the rotation of the main gear to drive the rotation of the others, calculating the correct rotation with the gear ratio.

Best
