Involute Function For Gears

The document provides information about finding the inverse of an involute function. It notes that there is no simple formula to find the original angle given its involute. Tables can be used to interpolate values, or a calculator can guess the angle by comparing to a brief table provided. It also gives a formula to calculate the inverse and notes the involute is a steadily increasing function with higher angles corresponding to higher involute values.

THE INVERSE OF THE INVOLUTE FUNCTION


Given the involute of an angle, there is no simple formula for finding that angle. If you have involute tables, the inverse of the involute can be found by interpolating between known values, if needed. Without the benefit of tables, the pursuit of the angle can be achieved with a calculator, the most practical solution is to guess based on this brief table. Remember you have involute (Inv ) you want . is the Greek letter Theta often used for a given angle IN DEGREES 0 5 10 14.5 17.5 20 22.5 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 INV. 0 0.00022 0.00179 0.00554 0.00987 0.01490 0.02151 0.02998 0.05375 0.08934 0.14097 0.21460 0.31909 0.46821 0.68585 1. 2. Inv () = Tangent - (/180) The function makes sense only from a range of 0 up to 89. You should arrive at =140 for example. The involute is a steadily increasing function; that is, the higher the angle, the higher the involute and vice versa.
