Usage

 * 1) Switch to the [[Image:FCGear_workbench_icon.svg|16px]] FCGear Workbench.
 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the command:
 * 3) * Press the button in the toolbar.
 * 4) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 5) Change the gear parameter to the required conditions (see Properties).

Properties
An FCGear CycloidRack object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:


 * : Default is . Number of points for spline.


 * : If (default), then the total length of the rack is teeth * pitch. If, then the rack starts with a tooth-flank.
 * : Default is . Value of the gear width.
 * : Default is . Number of teeth.
 * : Default is . Thickness of the uncut part of the rack.


 * : (read-only) Pitch in the transverse plane.


 * : Default is . Diameter of the rolling circle of hypocycloid, normalized by the (see Notes).
 * : Default is . Diameter of the rolling circle of epicycloid, normalized by the (see Notes).


 * : Default is.
 * : Default is.


 * : Default is . With the helix angle β a helical gear is created (positive value → rotation direction right, negative value → rotation direction left).
 * : Default is, creates a double helix gear (see Notes).


 * : Default is . For racks the module equals the pitch and so is the distance between corresponding points on adjacent teeth (see Notes).


 * : Default is . If the rack is drawn with a constant number of teeth to avoid topological renaming.


 * : Default is (see Notes).
 * : Default is . Additional length of the tip of the teeth, normalized by the.
