1.

Step 1

Start AutoCAD.

2. Step 2

Make a circle of 35mm radius at center.

3. Step 3
 Make another circle of 50mm concentric to previous one.

4. Step 4

Make two arcs like this one for cutting teeth.

5. Step 5

Trim down the circles. Now enter PEDIT command.

6. Step 6

Right click on the screen and select multiple.

7. Step 7

Select all arcs.

8. Step 8

Press enter and keep the input Y and press enter.

9. Step 9

Now click on the join.

10. Step 10

Press Enter.

11. Step 11

Now we can see that it has become a polyline.

12. Step 12

Enter helix command.

13. Step 13

Enter the radius value of (0,35). Any other value will distort the sweep. Keep the default
value for the upper radius. Press Enter.
14. Step 14

Now select turns and enter a value of 0.15.

15. Step 15

Now enter a height of 50mm. We have helix path generated which will later be used for
cutting the teeth.
16. Step 16

Create a circle of 50mm with origin as center.

17. Step 17

Extrude it by 25mm.
18. Step 18

Enter SWEEP command.

19. Step 19

Select the polyline to sweep and press enter.

20. Step 20

Right click and select alignment.

21. Step 21

Select No.
22. Step 22

Again right click and select twist.

23. Step 23

Keep the default values and press enter. Now select the helix as the sweep path.
24. Step 24

We have one cut body generated.

25. Step 25

Now enter array command.

26. Step 26

Select array type polar and enter origin as center for array. Click select object and select
the sweep. Now enter the no. of items be 10. Click OK.

27. Step 27

Subtract the arrayed sweeps from the cylindrical body and we have the helical gear
created.
