Macro TimingGear

Description
This macro creates GT2/GT3/GT5 timing gears to be used with timing belts. It uses operations of the PartDesign Workbench.

The purpose of timing gears is to allow the camshaft and crankshaft to turn the timing chain. The crankshaft turns to move pistons up and down inside the cylinders. The camshaft turns to allow intake and exhaust valves on the cylinders to open and close. These components are important for proper engine timing.

Timing gears are connected to a timing belt or timing chain.
