Calculating a Tooth Thickness

GearTrax can be used to calculate the tooth thickness when the over the pin dimension and pin diameters are known.

To calculate the tooth thickness:

·                Select either the Spur/Helical tab or the Spline tab.

·                Specify the number of teeth, diametral pitch or the Module

·                Open the Measurements tab in the Options menu.

·                Specify a pin diameter for the pinion, gear or the internal or external spline.

·                Enter a value in one of the four over or under the pin measurement text boxes.

·                GearTrax will return a message with the calculated tooth thickness or a message saying the dimension could not be calculated.
