Minimum Number of Teeth on Pinion to Avoid Interference given Addendum of Pinion Calculator

Calculate Minimum Number of Teeth on Pinion







Formula

The formula to calculate the Minimum Number of Teeth on Pinion to Avoid Interference given Addendum of Pinion is:

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

Where:

Definition

The minimum number of teeth on pinion is the count of teeth on pinion required to avoid interference given the addendum of pinion.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

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

Evaluating:

\[ Z_p = \frac{2 \cdot 0.0225}{\sqrt{1 + 3 \cdot (3 + 2) \cdot \left( \sin(0.55850536063808) \right)^2} - 1} \]

The Minimum Number of Teeth on Pinion is 0.0350732824648497.
