Tip radius (right)

Symbol ρaP0
Unit mm
Attribute-ID tip_radius_right_flank
Numeric ID 201164
Value Type PMTechValue

The tool tip radius cuts the root fillet of the gear, thus it is a decisive factor for the tooth root bending stress. A fully rounded tool produces the smallest curvature in the tooth root fillet, thus the lowest notch effect and the lowest root bending stress.

The following input options are available:

ρaP0,full Fully rounded tool tip
ρaP0 Tip radius (smaller than fully rounded)
mnP0 Normal module of the rack reference profile

Note: It is possible to optimize the tooth root geometry and thus further reduce the tooth root bending stresses compared to full rounding, see FVA 709 "Free tooth root geometry" (in German).
