Numeric ID 16716
Value Type PMBoolean

If this option is activated, then a machining allowance on the tool  acc. to DIN 3972 is used.

This machining allowance on the tool (p) is in addition to the machining allowance (q) possibly specified on the gear wheel.

At the height of the profile reference line, the tooth thickness of the tool is equal to its tooth gap width when dimensioning according to DIN 3972 (finish machining I+II). When dimensioning according to DIN 3972 (pre-machining III+IV), the tool-internal machining allowance (p) on the tool at the level of the profile reference line results in a greater tooth gap width than tooth thickness.

The specifications of the tool heights, such as the addendum, remain unchanged.

The following input options are available:

sP0=0.5·π·mnP0 (is equal to half pitch)

s0=0.5·π·mnP0-2·p·cos(αnP0)

sP0 Tooth thickness at the reference line of the rack reference profile acc DIN 3972 (finish machining I+II)
s0 Tooth thickness at the reference line of the rack reference profile acc DIN 3972 (pre-machining III+IV)
p Machining allowance on the rack reference profile
spr Residual fillet undercut on the gear (prP0-p)
prP0 Protuberance of the rack reference profile
hprP0 Protuberance height of the rack reference profile
hFfP0 Utilized dedendum of the rack reference profile
hfP0 Dedendum of the rack reference profile
haP0 Addendum of the rack reference profile
αnP0 Normal pressure angle of the rack reference profile
mnP0 Normal module of the rack reference profile
