Spur gear pair dimensions numerical
Short answer
Pitch circle diameters: d1 =120 mm, d2 =300 mm. Centre distance =210 mm. Gear speed =480 rpm. Circular pitch =15.708 mm, tooth thickness =7.854 mm. Addendum =5 mm, dedendum =6.25 mm, clearance =1.25 mm, whole depth =11.25 mm. Outside diameters: pinion 130 mm, gear 310 mm. Root diameters: pinion 107.5 mm, gear 287.5 mm. Base circle diameters: pinion 112.76 mm, gear 281.91 mm.
Two 20 degree full-depth involute spur gears of module 5 mm have 24 and 60 teeth. The pinion rotates at 1200 rpm. Calculate (a) the pitch circle diameters, (b) the centre distance, (c) the speed of the gear, (d) the circular pitch and tooth thickness, (e) addendum, dedendum, clearance and whole depth, (f) outside and root diameters, (g) base circle diameters.
Standard 20 degree full-depth system: addendum , dedendum , clearance , tooth thickness (no backlash).
