Minimum Teeth on Wheel to Avoid Interference if Pinion and Wheel have Equal Teeth Calculator

Calculate Minimum Teeth on Wheel to Avoid Interference





Formula

The formula to calculate the Minimum Number of Teeth on Wheel to Avoid Interference if Pinion and Wheel have Equal Teeth is:

\[ T = \frac{2 \cdot A_w}{\sqrt{1 + 3 \cdot \left( \sin(\Phi_{\text{gear}}) \right)^2} - 1} \]

Where:

Definition

The minimum number of teeth on wheel is the count of teeth on the wheel required to avoid interference when the pinion and wheel have equal teeth.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ T = \frac{2 \cdot A_w}{\sqrt{1 + 3 \cdot \left( \sin(\Phi_{\text{gear}}) \right)^2} - 1} \]

Evaluating:

\[ T = \frac{2 \cdot 0.0245}{\sqrt{1 + 3 \cdot \left( \sin(0.55850536063808) \right)^2} - 1} \]

The Minimum Number of Teeth on Wheel is 0.137114214810417.
