Geartrax 2022 For Solidworks

GearTrax does not stop at the gear teeth. It provides a comprehensive design suite for:

The 2022 version has improved the user interface for these components, making the transition between designing a spur gear and matching sprocket seamless within the same dialog box.

GearTrax 2022 is a parametric, feature-based gear generator that operates as an add-in for SolidWorks 2022. Unlike basic toolboxes that offer only cosmetic representations, GearTrax creates fully machinable, true-scale involute profiles. The software calculates the exact tooth geometry based on user-defined inputs (module/diametral pitch, pressure angle, number of teeth, backlash, and profile shift).

The core philosophy of GearTrax 2022 is simple: You input the parameters; the software writes the SolidWorks API code to build the model instantly.

Because the tool uses the SolidWorks API (Application Programming Interface) rather than importing generic STEP files, every feature—from the tooth root fillet to the hub bore—is a native SolidWorks feature. This allows you to modify, suppress, or add subsequent operations (like lightening holes or keyways) as if you had drawn the part manually.

Spiral bevel gears now include more accurate tooth thinning and improved face width control. You can also generate matched pinion-gear sets with optimized contact ratios. geartrax 2022 for solidworks

Convert rotary motion to linear motion. The software generates a finite-length rack with correct pressure angles, allowing you to specify the exact rack length and mounting holes.

The strength of GearTrax lies in its deep integration. It is not a standalone software that requires importing and exporting files (like STEP or IGES).

| Feature | Geartrax 2022 | SolidWorks Toolbox | Manual Modeling | |---------|---------------|--------------------|------------------| | Tooth profile accuracy | Involute with optional profile shift | Simplified (cosmetic) | Depends on skill | | Parametric (change teeth/DP) | Yes | Limited | Yes (if done right) | | Bevel / worm gears | Yes | No | Very difficult | | Manufacturing-ready | Yes (backlash, fillets) | No | Possible | | Cost | ~$1,495 (one-time) | Included with SW | Free (time expensive) | The 2022 version has improved the user interface

Verdict: If you design gears more than twice a month, Geartrax pays for itself quickly.

Conclusion: GearTrax is the "sweet spot" for professionals who need more than Toolbox but cannot justify KISSsoft’s price.

Designing the part is only half the battle; manufacturing it is the other. GearTrax 2022 allows users to export crucial manufacturing data directly from the model. It supports exporting gear data in formats compatible with CNC gear hobbing machines, ensuring that what you design is exactly what gets cut.
