How to Calculate Bite Angle?
Bite Angle calculator uses Bite Angle = acos(1-Height/(2*Roller Radius)) to calculate the Bite Angle, Bite Angle in rolling metals is where all the force is transmitted through the rolls, maximum attainable angle between roll radius at the first contact and the roll centers. If the operating angle is less, it is called the contact angle or roll angle. Bite Angle is denoted by αb symbol.
How to calculate Bite Angle using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Bite Angle, enter Height (h) & Roller Radius (R) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Bite Angle calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1518.577 = acos(1-0.0274/(2*0.102)).
