How to Calculate Maximum Length of Path of Contact?
Maximum Length of Path of Contact calculator uses Path of Contact = (Radius of Pitch Circle of Wheel+Radius of Pitch Circle of Pinion)*sin(Pressure Angle of Gear) to calculate the Path of Contact, The maximum length of path of contact is the path traced by the contact point of a pair of tooth profiles when interference is avoided. Path of Contact is denoted by P symbol.
How to calculate Maximum Length of Path of Contact using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Maximum Length of Path of Contact, enter Radius of Pitch Circle of Wheel (Rwheel), Radius of Pitch Circle of Pinion (r) & Pressure Angle of Gear (Φgear) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Maximum Length of Path of Contact calculation can be explained with given input values -> 11976.18 = (0.0124+0.0102)*sin(0.55850536063808).
