Convert Between Different Gear Pitch Types

The following are the basic formulas for convert from diametral pitch, ciurcular pitch and module pitches.

D = Diametral Pitch         C = Circular Pitch            M = Module You Have You Need Rule Formula Diametral Pitch Circular Pitch Divide Pi (3.1416) by the diametral pitch C = 3.1416 / D Module Divide 25.4 by the diametral pitch M = 25.4 / D Circular Pitch Diametral Pitch Divide Pi (3.1416) by the circular pitch D = 3.1416 / C Module Multiply the circular pitch by 8.08505 M = C x 8.08505 Module Diametral Pitch Module divided by 25.4 D =  25.40 / M Circular Pitch Module divided by 8.08505 C = M / 8.08505 Other Topics IC engine, Air Standard Cycles, Method of Ignition, Gear Types, External vs Internal Gears, External Gear Pump, mechanical Engineering, Gears, Gears Purpose, spur gears,Helical gears,herringbone gear,Worm gears,Mechanical Pdf,English books,Photoshop tutorials,Physics files,Thamizh,Manufacturing,Gears pdf,Computer science,Harry potter,Best 100 english books,Rack and pinion,Face Gears,Involute Splines,Straight sided Spline

Straight Sided Splines

Straight sided splines often serve the same function as involute splines but have "straight sided" teeth instead of involute teeth.

Involute Splines

Splined shafts and hubs are usually used as connectors in many different types of applications. One of the most common applications is to connect motors to gear reducers. They may also be used in transmissions.Involute splines resemble spur gears, but tend to have different pressure angles.

Face Gears

Face gears transmit power at (usually) right angles in a circular motion. Face gears are not very common in industrial application.

Internal Gears

Internal gears typically resemble inverted spur gears but are occasionally cut as helical gears.

Meshing gear also rotates in same direction

Worm Gears

Worm gears are used to transmit power at 90° and where high reductions are required. The worm resembles a thread that rides in concaved or helical teeth.

Bevel / Miter Gears

Bevel gears are used mostly in situations that require power to be transmitted at right angles (or applications that are not parallel). Bevel gears can have different angles of application but tend to be 90°

Herringbone Gears

Herringbone gears resemble two helical gears that have been placed side by side. They are often referred to as "double helicals". One benefit of herringbone gears is that it helps to avoid issues related to side thrust created with the use of helical gears.
