The gear specifications derived from this application are intended as a preliminary estimate of the final solution. No assurances of compliance to the optimum solution are given or implied. These gear specifications do not represent the results of applying "standard" tooth proportions, backlash, and center distances. They are a result of simultaneous solutions utilizing Universal Technical System's Model 60-610 "Plastic Gear Analysis" over a range of data input.
