Property reference

	Properties
	Geabox
	Gear Ratio
Sets the input to output gear ratio. For example a ratio of 2:1 would be 0.5, a ratio of 1:5 would be 5.0. Negative ratio values allow the input direction to be reversed.
	Connections
	Input
Input connection for example a motor or other active component or primitive.
	Output
Output connection for example a primitive or a component such as a linear slide or gearbox.
	Input Offset
Distance along the shaft from the center of the input object to the center of the coupling.
	Output Offset
Distance along the shaft from the center of the coupling to the center of the output object.
	Output Translation X
Distance along the X axis from the center of the coupling to the center of the output object.
	Output Translation Y
Distance along the X axis from the center of the coupling to the center of the output object.
