N-number of teeth
Ng=number of teeth of spur gear
Np=number of teeth of pinion
=DP = piD/P = DO*P-2
D=pitch diameter -- diameter of pitch

Dg=pitch diameter of gear
Dp=pitch diameter of pinion
=NIP =Do-a
P=diametral pitch - number of teeth
per inch of pitch diameter
=NID = pilp
a=addendum - radial distance the
tooth extends above the pitch circle
=11P =pipi
b=dedendum -- radial distance the
tooth extends below the pitch circle
=1.157/P =1.157p/pi
Do=outside diameter — pitch
diameter plus twice the addendum
gives the overalll gear size
=N+2P = D+2a = (N+2)p/pi
Dr=root diameter — pitch diameter
minus twice the dedendum tives the
root diameter
=D-2b =Do-2(a+b)
ht=whole depth -- radial distance
‘from the root diameter to the outside
diameter, equal to addendum plus
dedendum
=a +b +0 =2.157/P =2.147p/pi
p=circular pitch -- distance from a
point on one tooth to the same point
on the next tooth measured along the
pitch circle; the distance of one tooth
and one space
piDIN = pilP
tc=circular thickness -- thickness of a
tooth measured along the pitch circle
=pi2
c=clearance -- difference between the
addendum and the dedendum; the
distance between the top of a tooth
and the bottom of the mating space

distance a tooth projects into the
mating space; twice the radial

o=pressure angle -- the direction of
pressure between teeth at the point of
contact
=14.5 degrees or 20 degrees
Db=base-circle diameter -- the circle
from which the involute profile is
developed
Pressure angle (Greek phi)
Application of Gear Formulas
. Pressure angle is 14-1/2 degrees
Distance between parallel shaft centers is 12"
Driving shaft RPM = 800 clockwise
Driven shaft RPM = 400
Diametral pitch = 4 (number of teeth per inch of pitch diameter)
Pitch radius of pinion
Rp=(400/400+800) * 12"
Pitch radius of the spur
Rs=(800/400+800) * 12"
Velocity ratio
= 1/2 = (4 in-8in)
Number of teeth on pinion
Np= DP =4* 8 = 32
Number of teeth on spur
Ns = DP = 4* 16 = 64
‘Addendum a= 1/P = 1/4"
Dedendum b = 1.157/p = 1.157/4 = 0.289"

Definitions
Drafting in a Computer Age, Wallach & Chowenhill, pp 388=393
Gear axis ‘central axis that the gear revolves around
Pitch circle ‘an imaginary circle concentric with the gear axis and
passing through the pitch points
Pitch point the point of intersection between the tooth face and the
pitch circle
Tooth face the surface of the gear tooth that applies pressure on the
adjacent gear's tooth
‘Addendum the radial distance from the top of the tooth to the pitch
circle
‘Addendum circle (outside diameter)
ja circle connecting the outer edge of the gear teeth

(Gear Fermaas
Chordal thickness
the thickness of a tooth measured on the pitch circle
Pitch diameter
the diameter of the pitch circle
Diametral pitch the ratio equal to the number of teeth on the gear per inch
of pitch diameter
Dedendum the radial distance from the pitch circle to the root,
diameter
Root diameter
same as the dedendum circle; the smallest diameter for
the base of a gear tooth
Base circle circle from which the involute tooth profile begins
Fillet the concave intersection between the root and the side of
a gear tooth
Flank the lower side of a gear tooth between the base circle
and root
Center distance
the distance between the centerlines of two parallel gear
shafts
pina edudaowtramesigearsigearormtin!
Number of teeth the total number of teeth on the circumference of a gear
Whole depth total height of a gear tooth; equal to the addendum plus
the dedendum
Working depth depth a tooth extends into the mating space of the
opposite tooth
‘Clearance the distance between the top of one tooth and the bottom
of the opposite mating tooth; equal to the dedendum
minus the addendum
Circular pitch distance measured along the pitch circle from a point on
‘one tooth to the corresponding point on the adjacent
tooth; includes the space and the tooth
