This information is necessary to complete this assignment.

N = Number of Teeth
OD = Outside Diameter

Outside Diameter (OD)

The overall diameter of the gear.
OD=(N+2)/DP

Pitch Diameter (PD)

The diameter of an imaginary pitch circle on which a
gear tooth is designed.
Pitch circles of
two gears are
tangent.
PD=N/DP

Diametral Pitch (DP)

A ratio equal to the number of teeth on a gear per
inch of diameter.
DP=N/DP

Root Diameter (RD)

The diameter of a circle coinciding with the bottom
of the tooth spaces.
RD=OD-2(wh)

Center Distance (CD)

The distance between the axis of two mating gears.
CD=PDgear1/2+PDgear2/2

Addendum (a)
The radial distance from the pitch circle to the top of
the tooth.
a=1/DP

Dedendum (d)
The radial distance from the pitch circle to the
bottom of the tooth.
d=wh-a

Whole Depth (wd)

The full height of the tooth.
wd=2.157/DP

Tooth Radius (r)

Radius of tooth profile.
r=3/4CP

Chordal Thickness (ct)

The straight line thickness of a gear tooth measured
on the pitch circle.
ct=PDsin(90/N)

Circular Pitch (cp)

The distance from a point on one tooth to the
corresponding point on the adjacent tooth,
measured on the pitch circle.
cp=3.1416/DP
