Given: Involute profile teeths of mating gear: 20 and 40 Pressure angle = 20° module = 10mm The constraint: The addendum on each wheel is to be made of such a length that the line of contact on each side of the pitch point has half the maximum possible length. Find the addendum height for the smaller gear wheel in mm.

Given: Involute profile teeths of mating gear: 20 and 40 Pressure angle = 20° module = 10mm The constraint: The addendum on each wheel is to be made of such a length that the line of contact on each side of the pitch point has half the maximum possible length. Find the addendum height for the smaller gear wheel in mm. Correct Answer 6.2

r = m.t/2 = 100mm R = 200mm Using the constraint we find that ra = 106.2mm Therefore Addendum height = 6.2mm.
