Crank Arm Design and Fabrication Tool
Our innovative tool allows you to create crank arms with precise dimensions using either a leather cutter or a 3D printer. This application calculates and generates detailed 2D SVG or 3D STL files of your custom crank arm designs, making it easy to visualize, share, and produce your components.
Key Features
- Custom Dimensions: Input your desired specifications, including crankshaft diameter, crank pin diameter, crank arm length, crank arm width, balance weight radius, and thickness.
- Automatic Balance Weight Calculation: The tool calculates the size of the balance weight needed based on the outer diameter of the balance weight, the mass on the crank pin side, and the density of the crank arm material.
- Data Sharing and Display: Generated data can be seamlessly displayed and shared with other applications, 3D printers, and connected PCs.
- Size Reference: A credit card-sized square is included in the design for easy size comparison.
Parameters
- Crankshaft Diameter (mm)
- Crank Pin Diameter (mm)
- Crank Arm Length (mm)
- Crank Arm Width (mm)
- Balance Weight Radius (mm)
- Thickness (mm)
