Why pressure angle is used in the gear?
The pressure angle gives the direction normal to the tooth profile. To run gears together properly their pressure angles must be matched. The pressure angle is also the angle of the sides of the trapezoidal teeth on the corresponding rack. The force transmitted during the mating of gear teeth acts along the normal.
What is the effect of pressure angle in gears?
The higher the pressure angle, the higher the tooth strength. The noise that the gears generate decreases with an increase in the contact ratio. Thus, the selection of pressure angle involves many factors. Normal pressure angles in use today are between 17.5° and 22.5°.
What is pitch circle in gear?
Pitch circle: The circle, the radius of which is equal to the distance from the center of the gear to the pitch point. This is where the gear’s speed is measured. Pitch diameter: Diameter of the pitch circle. Pitch point: The point of tangency of the pitch circles of a pair of mating gears.
What is meant by pitch circle diameter?
The Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) is the diameter of the circle which passes through the centre of all the studs, wheel bolts or wheel rim holes. The easiest way calculate the PCD is as follows: 1) Measure the distance ‘S’ between two adjacent studs from the centre of each hole.
How do you find the diameter of a pitch circle?
Standard pitch circle is called standard circle or pitch circle and its diameter is obtained as the product of the number of teeth and the module. The pitch circle diameter is d = zm (where z = number of teeth, m = module). The pitch circle diameters are important numbers in locating the shafts of two mating gears.
How do I know what PCD my wheels are?
To calculate the P.C.D. of a three stud wheel or hub measure between two holes next to each other (as with five stud below) and multiply by 1.154. The P.C.D. of any wheel or hub with an even number of holes can be measured from the inside of one hole directly across to the outside of the hole opposite.
What does PCD 100 mean?
100 is the simplest. So lets say you have an alloy with 4×100 PCD. It means it has four holes and the distance between one bolt hole and the one opposite to it is 100 mm. It simple means the circumference on which all 5 holes are drilled, it has a diameter of 114 mm. Same way 6 bolt wheel PCD is measured.
How do I know what alloys will fit my car?
There are 10 aspects that are critical for your choice of alloy wheel to fit properly:
- The Wheel PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter / Stud Pattern)
- The Front and Rear Wheel Offset (ET)
- The Wheel Diameter.
- The Front and Rear Wheel Width/s.
- The Front and Rear Tyre Size.
- The Wheel Load Capabilities.
- The Tyre Load Index.
- The Centre Bore.
Are all 5 stud wheels the same?
Will any 5 stud wheel fit any other 5 stud vehicle? No, you need to check bolt PCD and wheel offset. You may also need spigot rings, and the bolts need to be the same type (some bolt heads sit at different angles).
What is the most common 5 lug bolt pattern?
Most Common Bolt Patterns
| 4 x 130mm | VW Beetle, sandrails, buggies, and UTVs |
|---|---|
| 5 x 4.5″ | Very common bolt pattern for cars and SUVs |
| 5 x 5″ (127mm) | Used on some SUVs and smaller trucks |
| 5 x 5.5″ | Dodge, Ford, and Jeep mid-size vehicles |
| 6 x 135mm | ’04 and newer Ford F-150 and Expedition |
What is the largest rim size for my car?
The largest width of the custom rims you should be looking for in this case is 7.5 inches. You can then shop for the largest diameter rim/wheel that has a width of 7.5 inches. In this case 18 inch rims would probably be the largest.
How do I know my alloy size?
Every alloy wheel should have the size on the tyre; you can find this on the outside or sometimes it is stamped on the inside of the alloys or the back of the spokes. Contacting a specialist is a good idea if you are still unsure about what the diameter and width of your alloys is.
What does 7j mean on a wheel?
The wheels width is usually written beside the flange shape marking – e.g: 7j, 7.5j, 8.0j. The width of the wheel is basically the area shown on the photo above and it is measured in inches. In other words, the bigger the number, the “thicker” your wheels are.
Can you fit any alloys on a car?
Every vehicle has a compatible rim width range (not a fixed width). For example: Audi A3 2002 has an offset range between 6J and 8.5J, as long as the rim width is within that range, the alloy wheels will be fully compatible. Every vehicle has a compatible offset range (not a fixed offset).
How do I know my car wheel size?
The tire size for your vehicle and wheels can be found in two places:
- Sidewall of your tire.
- Inside frame of the driver side door.
Can I replace 15 inch wheels with 16 inch?
Yes that’s perfectly fine it’s only plus you could go up to 17 inches easily. Though you have have sights wider tyres and sights lower ratio tyres so for 15 in to 16 in. If you say have 205/60/15 to .
What is the diameter of a car wheel?
Wheel Diameter Diameter of the ‘rim’ in inches (excluding the tyre). Standard road cars generally have wheels that are between 14 inch and 19 inch in diameter. Luxury, sporty cars, SUVs and 4×4 vehicles generally have the bigger size wheels.
What do wheel size numbers mean?
The wheel size is the size designation of a wheel given by its diameter, width, and offset. For example, 17 x 8.5 x +35 designates a diameter of 17 inches, width of 8.5 inches, and +35 mm positive offset (432 × 216 x +35 in fully metric numbers).
What do the 3 numbers mean on tire size?
B: TIRE WIDTH The three-digit number following the letter is the tire’s width (from side to side, looking at the tire head on) in millimeters. It’s the height of the sidewall measured from wheel rim to top of the tread, expressed as a percentage of tire width. In other words, it’s sidewall height divided by tire width.
How tall is a 17 inch tire?
| 17 INCH TIRES | TIRE HEIGHT |
|---|---|
| 225 35 17 | 23.20 |
| 245 35 17 | 23.75 |
| 315 35 17 | 25.68 |
| 335 35 17 | 26.23 |

What is the widest 17 inch tire?
335/35/17 is the widest tires made for 17″ wheels.
Which tire is taller 235 or 245?
The aspect ratio is a percent of the total width. So the sidewall of a 245/45 tire is 45% as tall as the tire is wide or 110mm (4.4″) tall. A 235/45 would have a 105.75mm sidewall height. 245/45 will be slightly taller than stock obviously.
How much wider is 245 than 225?
Only noticeable difference here is the width. The 245 kinds are about 0.8” wider in respect to the 225 which is not an issue.
Will a 235 tire fit a 245 rim?
Yes, a size 235/65R17 tire will fit the same wheel as a 245/65R17 size tire. The last digit in the tire size (17) indicates what size wheel that a specific tire fits on.
