Formula Sheet

m = module 
N = number of teeth
PA = Pressure angle = degrees
a = Addendum = m
b = dedendum = 1.25 * m
dP = pitch diameter = m * N
dbc = base circle diameter = dP *  cos(PA)
D = diametral pitch = 25.4 / m
P = circular pitch = Pi / D
ht = whole depth = 2.157 / D
c = clearance
hk = working depth = 2 / D
b = face width
n = speed (rpm)
w = transmitted power (hp)
V = velocity of pitch diameter = Pi * dP *n / 60000
Ft = tangential force = (w*745.69987) / V
LS = Lewis tooth stress = Ft / (m * b * Y)
