How to Draw Involute Gear

Pitch Diameter D
Chosen D = 40
Number of Teeth N
Chosen = 21
Diametral Pitch P
N/D = 21/40
P = 0.525
Base Circle Diameter DB
Db = Dcos(PA) = 40cos(20)
Db = 37.5877
Outside Diameter DO
DO = D + 2a = 40 + 2(1.9048) = 43.8096
Addendum a
a = 1/P = 1/0.525 = 1.9048
Root Diameter DR
DR = D 2b = 40 2(2.2038) = 35.5924
Dedendum b
b = ht a = 4.1086 1.9048 = 2.2038
Whole Depth ht
ht = 2.157/P = 2.157/0.525 = 4.1086

Creo Involute Equation

r = 20
ang = t * 90
s = (3.1416 * r * t) / 2
xc = r * cos(ang)
yc = r * sin(ang)
x = xc + (s * sin(ang))
y = yc - (s * cos(ang))
z=0
