Drive gear ZG1 = 39 ZA1 = 18
Driven gear ZG2 = 29 ZA2 = 61

i = Z 2: Z 11)

iG = gear ratio = ZG2 : ZG1 = 29: 39= 0.744

iA = axle ratio= ZA2 : ZA1 = 61: 18= 3.389

i total = total ratio = iG x iA = 0.744 x 3.389= 2.521

1) Z1 = Number of teeth on the drive gear, Z 2 = Number of teeth on the driven gear
