## Overall (mm)

| length | width | height |
|---|---|---|
| 34.93 | 34.93 | 16.0 |

**Exact dimensions.** True size, with no printing tolerance added.

## Notes

- Normal module 1.5, helix angle 20°: transverse module 1.6, transverse pressure angle 21.17°, pitch Ø31.93, tip Ø34.93, root Ø28.18; addendum 1.5, dedendum 1.88 (normal-module depths).
- Two opposed 20° helices meet at mid-face (twist 10.45° each way over 8 mm), so the end thrusts cancel.
- Xem Studio design following Brown's figure; true size, no printing allowance (apply your own to the mating features).

## Sizes

| dimension | value |
|---|---|
| normal module | 1.5 |
| teeth | 20 |
| helix angle | 20° |
| transverse module | 1.6 |
| pitch Ø | 31.93 mm |
| tip Ø | 34.93 mm |
| face | 16 mm |
| bore | Ø6 |
