How does one figure out the modulus of a spur gear? I'm wondering what the modulus of the change gears of my lathe are.
Thanks,

Ed,
I believe it's just the pitch diameter of the gear divided by the number of teeth. Tom

And to confuse us all, DP gears are just the opposite... teeth/PD
An edit to add a possibly more useful tidbit::: (Outside Diameter) / (Number of Teeth + 2) = Module Similarly, you'd reverse divisor/quotient for DP gears. |
