Hello,
Why have different size gears (teeth numbers) to get the SAME gear ratio? Just to cover different distance in same rotations? What factors would influence your decision to pick a smaller or larger number of teeth to get the same ratio? i.e. When is it better to choose gear combination of 15 teeth to 30 teeth (gear ration 1:2) versus gear combination of 20 teeth to 40 teeth (same gear ratio 1:2).
Any help will be apprecited.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
