Create the tooth involute curve. Using the Front sketch plane, create a spline curve through free points and enter the points shown in the table below, to generate the curve as shown Involute curve whose points are shown in the table below (on left) x y z 0 -50 0 0.011068 -50.19 0 0.08834 -50.7558 0 0.297012 -51.6842 0 0.700275 -52.954 0 1.358341 -54.5355 0 2.327502 -56.3912 0 3.659237 -58.4765 0 5.399372 -60.7397 0 7.587302 -63.1233 0 10.2553 -65.5644 0 da = 120.236 mm Addendum circle dp = 120.000 mm Pitch circle db = 112.764 mm Base circle do = 110.508 mm Root circle -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------
