O2

P: Pitch point of gear


O1, O2: Centre of Gears
A, B: Natural interference points
 AO1P = ;  PO2B =  = pressure angle
Line APB: pressure line
Radius of gear, Rg = O2P
Radius of pinion, Rp = O1P
Outer radius of gear < O2A

Rg + addendum < O2A 

Rp + addendum < O1B X

Considering  O2PA

Addendum = k.m
k=1 for full depth
k=0.8 for stub tooth
 O2PA = /2 + 
O P 2 + PA2 − O2 A 2
Cos( / 2 + ) = 2

addendum < O2A – O2P


m = 2O1P/Tp
