Axial Thrust on Driven Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Axial Thrust on Driven is:

\[ F_{a2} = F_2 \cdot \tan(\alpha_2) \]

Where:

\(F_{a2}\) is the Axial Thrust on Driven (N)
\(F_2\) is the Resisting Force acting Tangentially on Driven (N)
\(\alpha_2\) is the Spiral Angle of Gear Teeth for Gear 2 (rad)

Definition

Axial thrust on driven refers to a propelling force applied along the axis (also called axial direction) of an object in order to push the object against a platform in a particular direction.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Resisting Force acting Tangentially on Driven (\(F_2\)) = 15 N
Spiral Angle of Gear Teeth for Gear 2 (\(\alpha_2\)) = 0.524471440224197 rad

Using the formula:

\[ F_{a2} = 15 \cdot \tan(0.524471440224197) \]

Evaluating:

\[ F_{a2} = 8.67771613277748 \text{ N} \]

The Axial Thrust on Driven is 8.67771613277748 N.
