piston and gear design

<< < (2/2)

kalos:
like this
but the rod must have teeth to engage with the gear (drawn as a star)
and then I need to add a couple of gears more and a connecting belt between them and I am done!

Edvard:
Aha, so the piston rod is actually like a rack gear.  OK.  Like so?

(drawn in Inkscape 0.91 with the new "Rack Gear" render function)

kalos:
yeah! thanks!

but can that rack gear have teeth in the right side as well?

will try to replicate it!

Edvard:
Here's the SVG file, if you want to play around with it in Inkscape.  I'm a bit busy at the moment, but if I get some time later, I'll tweak it and re-post.

kalos:
that's excellent, thank you very much!
I will tweak it
