Frequently Asked Questions: What is the pressure angle?Answer: Generally speaking, the pressure angle refers to the graduated circle pressure angle.The acute angle between the radial line of the intersection of the tooth profile and the index circle and the tangent to the tooth profile at that point is called the index circle pressure angle.The most commonly used pressure angle is 20°, but there are gears that use 14.5°, 15, 17.5, and 22.5 pressure angles.If you have more questions or related processing needs, you can consult EP free of charge.
