Gear Train Ratio
Driven rotational speed divided by driving rotational speed for one meshing gear pair.
Description
Driven rotational speed divided by driving rotational speed for one meshing gear pair.
Gear Train Ratio: Driven rotational speed divided by driving rotational speed for one meshing gear pair.
When to use Gear Train Ratio
Use this horology calculation to interpret a stated watch, clock, timing-machine, water-resistance, alarm, or historical respiratory-timing quantity under its defined convention.

How Gear Train Ratio works
Driven rotational speed divided by driving rotational speed for one meshing gear pair. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Speed Ratio
- The resulting speed ratio returned as a number.
Limitations and assumptions
- Mechanical-watch amplitude and beat measurements depend on lift angle, position, state of wind, movement condition, instrument setup, and elapsed sampling. ATM markings are test-pressure classifications rather than literal safe diving depths.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Confirm movement specifications and measure in multiple positions and power states; follow the manufacturer's water-resistance guidance and obtain pressure testing after case service.
