Hi, I wonder if you could help me. I have an assignment to make up a lego differential in Pro-E for college. The only thing I have to go on it this animated giff :
http://www.technicopedia.com/fundamentals.html#diff
I have managed to work out almost all the dimensions but I am still not sure of the gear diameters. Specifically I need to find the root,pitch and outer circle diameters for a
12 tooth bevel gear, a 20 tooth double bevel gear and the 28 tooth differential gear carrier.
I would really appreciate it if you (or anyone else reading this) could help. Thanks, Jo.

i have found another type of the 16 tooth gear with clutch. this version however has no teeth, instead it has a smooth side like the 20 tooth single bevel pin-holed gear.

@qwertyuiop Not really. They are very rare and don't work with any other gears.

@qwertyuiop They usually break around the middle.

whenever your gears break, do they tend to break around the middle or do the teeth just snap off?
because yesterday i transformed one of my 16 tooth gears into a 15 tooth one.
