Lead angle of Worm Gear given number of starts and diametral quotient Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Lead Angle of Worm = atan(Number of Starts on Worm/Diametral Quotient)
γ = atan(z₁/q)
This formula uses 2 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)
atan - Inverse tan is used to calculate the angle by applying the tangent ratio of the angle, which is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side of the right triangle., atan(Number)

Variables Used

Lead Angle of Worm - (Measured in Radian) - The Lead Angle of Worm is defined as the angle between a tangent to the thread at the pitch diameter and a plane normal to the worm axis.
Number of Starts on Worm - The Number of starts on worm is defined as the number of thread starts of worm in one rotation.
Diametral Quotient - Diametral Quotient is defined as the ratio of pitch circle diameter of worm to the axial module of worm.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Number of Starts on Worm: 3 --> No Conversion Required
Diametral Quotient: 12 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

γ = atan(z₁/q) --> atan(3/12)

Evaluating ... ...

γ = 0.244978663126864
