Abstract: This paper presents the general formulas of torques, moments and train values for a standard n-gear train which have been developed on the basis of deriving the basic formulas of torques, moments and train values for the simple standard two-gear train through the simple standard four-gear train by using the method of |the moment of the force|.

Keywords: free-body diagrams; input shaft; input torque; output shaft; output torque; pitch radius; reaction force; reaction moment; simple standard external two-gear train; simple standard external-internal two-gear train; supporting distance; supporting moment; tangential force; gear trains.
