## Overall (mm)

| length | width | height |
|---|---|---|
| 34.93 | 34.93 | 12.0 |

**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).
- The transverse involute is twisted 15.68° over the 12 mm face (lead π·d / tan β = 275.56 mm). Meshes with a 30-tooth gear of the opposite hand on a parallel shaft.
- Xem Studio design following Brown's figure; true size, no printing allowance (apply your own to the mating features).
