    Hi everyone.
    How do i know the ammount of torque needed to rotate the first gear in the grid?
    (<a href="https://www.gearsket.ch/#2330f346927ea90b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">www.gearsket.ch</a>)
    The gears are not attached to a motor, and the aspect ratio between the big/small gears are 1/5 ( ach complete rotation of a big gear rotates the small one 5 times).
    How do i know how many sets of (small/big gears) its possible to manually rotate the first gear ? (I am ommiting the number of teeth, module and etc, because i don't have the data)
    I looking for the equations, not the result of the calculus,clues to look for this answer...
    (PS.: English is not my native language, sorry any mistakes with terms...)

    You have six gear pairs in the sketch. If each pair has a ratio of 5, the total ratio will be 6x5=30.
    If the torque at top left gear is T, the torque at the bottom right gear will be T/30.
    That is all that can be said at this stage with the available information.
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
