    Formula (2ha cos3 Ψ) / (mn sin2 Φn) is used to determine minimum number of teeth to avoid interference. As helix angle increases minimum number of teeth required to avoid interference decrease.
    (mn zp / 2 cos Ψn)(1+G) – This formula is used to determine centre distance between the axes of two mating gears
    (1.15 π mn / sin Ψn) -This formula is used to determine face width on gear tooth
