Calculate Helix Angle





Formula

The formula to calculate the Helix Angle is:

\[ \psi = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{L}{C}\right) \]

Definition

Helix Angle is the angle between any helix and an axial line on its right, circular cylinder, or cone.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \psi = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{0.011}{11.5}\right) \approx 0.00095652144741256 \text{ radians} \]
