How to Calculate Minimum Tooth Flank Radius?
Minimum Tooth Flank Radius calculator uses Minimum Tooth Flank Radius = 0.24*Roller Radius of Chain*(Number of teeth on sprocket+2) to calculate the Minimum Tooth Flank Radius, The Minimum Tooth Flank Radius formula is a trade-off between a desirable high contact strength and low friction between the teeth flanks of the gear, and the pinion. Minimum Tooth Flank Radius is denoted by remin symbol.
How to calculate Minimum Tooth Flank Radius using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Minimum Tooth Flank Radius, enter Roller Radius of Chain (R) & Number of teeth on sprocket (z) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Minimum Tooth Flank Radius calculation can be explained with given input values -> 34800 = 0.24*0.0058*(23+2).
