Length of Path of Recess Calculator

Calculate Length of Path of Recess







Formula

The formula to calculate the Length of Path of Recess is:

\[ P_2 = \sqrt{r_A^2 - r^2 \cdot (\cos(\Phi_{gear}))^2} - r \cdot \sin(\Phi_{gear}) \]

Where:

Definition

Path of recess is the portion of the path of contact from the pitch point to the end of contact.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ P_2 = \sqrt{0.02^2 - 0.0102^2 \cdot (\cos(0.55850536063808))^2} - 0.0102 \cdot \sin(0.55850536063808) \]

Evaluating:

\[ P_2 = 0.0126274587238916 \text{ m} \]

The Length of Path of Recess is 0.0126274587238916 m.
