Notes

  • Normal module 1.5, helix angle 20°: transverse module 1.6, transverse pressure angle 21.17°, pitch Ø47.89, tip Ø50.89, root Ø44.14; addendum 1.5, dedendum 1.88 (normal-module depths).
  • Two opposed 20° helices meet at mid-face (twist 6.97° 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).
