Syntax
[PLG,d,da,df,db]=PLgearDIN([m,z,tig,n,shr])
Input Parameter
m: | | modul; negative means internal gear |
z: | | Teeth number |
tig: | | starting orientation (=gap, 1=tooth) |
n: | | number of nodes per flank; default 5 |
shr: | | slot between inside and outside contours taken into both directions |
Output Parameter
PLG: | | Point list (2D) |
d: | | rolling circle |
da: | | head diameter |
df: | | foot diameter |
db: | | radius of 2nd contour |
Examples
Draw a gear with module 1 and 20 teeth (i.e. d=zm, i.e. 20 mm)
PLgearDIN(1,-20,1,100); PL=ans; fullview(1200); cla; PLplot(PL,'m-');
PLgearDIN(1+-20,1,100); PL=ans; fullview(1200); cla; PLplot(PL,'m-');
