Attribute-ID tip_relief_factor
Numeric ID 14930
Value Type PMDouble

The elastic deformation of the meshing teeth results in overload in high-slip areas on the tooth tip. The tip relief factor XCa considers the positive influence of the profile modification on this overload. The tip relief factor can be omitted for local scuffing load capacity calculations based on tooth contact analysis; therefore, by default XCa = 1.0.
