How to Calculate Gear Width?
1 Answers
Gear width calculation method: The tooth width of a gear is usually expressed by the tooth width coefficient. The helical gear coefficient is 0.4, the herringbone gear coefficient ranges from 0.5 to 1.0, the straight bevel gear tooth width = gear coefficient × outer cone distance; the worm gear tooth width = 0.65 × worm pitch diameter. Below is relevant information about gears: 1. By their shape: Gears are classified into cylindrical gears, bevel gears, non-circular gears, racks, and worm gears based on their shape; by tooth line shape, they are divided into spur gears, helical gears, herringbone gears, and curved gears. 2. By the surface where the teeth are located: They are divided into external gears and internal gears; by manufacturing method, they can be classified into cast gears, cut gears, rolled gears, sintered gears, etc.
