Creating crank arms with precise dimensions is now easier than ever, whether you're using a leather cutter or a 3D printer. Our tool calculates the necessary measurements based on your specified values and generates either an SVG file for 2D designs or an STL file for 3D models of your crank arm. This makes it incredibly convenient to visualize, share, and produce your designs in other applications or directly with your 3D printer.
One of the standout features of our tool is its ability to automatically calculate the size of the balance weight. By inputting the outside diameter of the balance weight, the mass on the crank pin side (in grams), and the density of the crank arm material (in grams per cubic centimeter), you can determine the ideal size for achieving perfect balance. This precision is crucial for optimizing the performance of your machinery.
Parameters
- Crankshaft diameter (mm)
- Crank pin diameter (mm)
- Crank arm length (mm)
- Crank arm width (mm)
- Balance weight radius (mm)
- Thickness (mm)
The generated data seamlessly integrates with applications, allowing you to share it effortlessly with 3D printers and connected PCs. For easy size comparison, the design includes an underlaying square representing a credit card.
