Calculate Addendum of Wheel







Formula

The formula to calculate the Addendum of Wheel is:

\[ A_w = \frac{T}{2} \left( \sqrt{1 + \frac{Z_p}{T} \left( \frac{Z_p}{T} + 2 \right) \left( \sin(\Phi_{\text{gear}}) \right)^2} - 1 \right) \]

Where:

Definition

Addendum of wheel is the height by which a tooth of a gear projects beyond the standard pitch circle or pitch line.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ A_w = \frac{T}{2} \left( \sqrt{1 + \frac{Z_p}{T} \left( \frac{Z_p}{T} + 2 \right) \left( \sin(\Phi_{\text{gear}}) \right)^2} - 1 \right) \]

Evaluating:

\[ A_w = \frac{12}{2} \left( \sqrt{1 + \frac{8}{12} \left( \frac{8}{12} + 2 \right) \left( \sin(0.55850536063808) \right)^2} - 1 \right) \]

The Addendum of Wheel is 1.34657221449183 meters.
