Timing gear slipping?
-
looking for a little advice here please, i am building a mechanism using sp3, and using the built in gear function. the problem is, at a 2:1 ratio(what i need), the gears are not keeping good timing when rotating slow(5 rpm) or fast(500rpm). at a 1:1(what i dont need) ratio, the gears are keeping perfect time with each other. ive tried mocking up actual gears, and under loads, the gear teeth cross through each other. note that ive already messed with gravity, density, and the other stuff to no success. does anybody know how to keep gears at perfect time with each other at ratios other than 1:1? any help would be appreciated. thanks.

It might help if you try 0.2:0.1 or 20:10; I believe that someone else had the same problem and that solved it.

how do you set the ratio of these sp gears?

Select one of the two joints that you have "gear" between, then open "UI" (skechyphysics inspector)
In one of those joint there are a box named "ratio".

Hey.
The ratio is on the first joint, if you press "JCT" (Joint Connector Tool) and press on the motor, and then a hinge. The motor will get the "Ratio" box.I've created a file with examples. If the motor have the ratio and you write "2.0", then the motor will go twice as fast than the hinge.
The example have four diffrent "motor to hinge" and "hinge to motor" gears./hpnisse

I think you can modify the ratio on both joints. They both have ratio inputs, so try the examples I made
