This formula uses 1 Constants, 2 Functions, 3 Variables
Constants Used
pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288
Functions Used
tan - The tangent of an angle is a trigonometric ratio of the length of the side opposite an angle to the length of the side adjacent to an angle in a right triangle., tan(Angle)
atan - Inverse tan is used to calculate the angle by applying the tangent ratio of the angle, which is the opposite side divided by the adjacent side of the right triangle., atan(Number)
Variables Used
Lead Angle of Worm - (Measured in Radian) - The Lead Angle of Worm is defined as the angle between a tangent to the thread at the pitch diameter and a plane normal to the worm axis.
Lead of Worm - (Measured in Meter) - The Lead of Worm is defined as the distance that a point on the helical profile will move when the worm is rotated through one revolution.
Pitch Circle Diameter of Worm Gear - (Measured in Meter) - Pitch Circle Diameter of Worm Gear is the diameter of the pitch circle of a gear that touches the meshing gear's pitch circle.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Lead of Worm: 40 Millimeter --> 0.04 Meter (Check conversion here)
Pitch Circle Diameter of Worm Gear: 50 Millimeter --> 0.05 Meter (Check conversion here)
