Involute Spline Design - Tyson Baker F'01

Enter desired values for the following:


Number of Teeth Nt (Between 6 and 50 teeth)
Diametral Pitch P teeth/in. (Standard sizes: 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 32, 40, 48)
Applied Torque (in-lb.) T in-lb.
Internal diameter (if hollow) di in.
Pressure angle f degrees (Typically 30, 37.5, or 45 degrees)

Dimensional Relations
Circular pitch p #DIV/0! in./tooth
Pitch diameter d #DIV/0! in.
Addendum a #DIV/0! in.
Base circle diameter db #DIV/0! in.
Circular tooth thickness t #DIV/0! in.

Diametral Pitch 1 thru 12 16 thru 48


doi (Major dia. internal) #DIV/0! #DIV/0! in.
dre (Minor dia. External) #DIV/0! #DIV/0! in.
b1i (Dedendum internal) #DIV/0! #DIV/0! in.
b1e (Dedendum ext.) #DIV/0! #DIV/0! in.

Effective Spline Length Le #DIV/0! in.


Shear Stress t #DIV/0! psi
*Shear stress and spline length are calculated based on the
assumption that only 25% of the teeth make contact at any
given moment.
