Applied Torque (in-lb.) T 15000 in-lb.
Internal diameter (if hollow) di 0 in.
Pressure angle f 37.5 degrees (Typically 30, 37.5, or 45 degrees)

Dimensional Relations

Pitch diameter d 3.000 in.
Addendum a 0.031 in.
Base circle diameter db 2.380 in.
Circular tooth thickness t 0.098 in.

Diametral Pitch 1 thru 12 16 thru 48


doi (Major dia. internal) 3.113 3.113 in.
dre (Minor dia. External) 2.888 2.875 in.
b1i (Dedendum internal) 0.056 0.056 in.
b1e (Dedendum ext.) 0.056 0.063 in.

Effective Spline Length Le 0.094 in.


Shear Stress t 3173.185 psi
*Shear stress and spline length are calculated based on the
assumption that only 25% of the teeth make contact at any
given moment.
