Standard Involute Profile

How standard involute profile is calculated

External Gear:

Tip (outside) Radius = Pitch Radius + Module * (1 + Profile shift)
Foot (root) Radius = Pitch Radius – Module * (1.25 - Profile shift)
Tooth Thickness = PI * module / 2 + 2 * Profile shift * Module * TAN(Nominal Pressure Angle)

Internal Gear:

Tip Radius = Pitch Radius – Module * (1 - Profile shift)
Foot Radius = Pitch Radius + Module * (1.25 + Profile shift)
Tooth Thickness = PI * module / 2 – 2 * Profile shift * Module * TAN(Nominal Pressure Angle)
Pitch Radius = module * number of teeth/2
