Variables
Functions
Bite Angle
The bite angle refers to the maximum attainable angle between the roll radius at the first contact and the roll centers during rolling of metals.
Symbol: αb
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Height
Height is the distance between base and the bottom of the roller pressing the material during the rolling process.
Symbol: h
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Roller Radius
The Roller Radius is the distance between the center and the point on the circumference of the roller.
Symbol: R
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
cos
Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Syntax: cos(Angle)
acos
The inverse cosine function, is the inverse function of the cosine function. It is the function that takes a ratio as an input and returns the angle whose cosine is equal to that ratio.
Syntax: acos(Number)

FAQs on Bite Angle

What is the formula to find Bite Angle?
The formula of Bite Angle is expressed as Bite Angle = acos(1-Height/(2*Roller Radius)). Here is an example- 1721.099 = acos(1-0.0274/(2*0.102)).
How to calculate Bite Angle?
With Height (h) & Roller Radius (R) we can find Bite Angle using the formula - Bite Angle = acos(1-Height/(2*Roller Radius)). This formula also uses Cosine (cos), Inverse Cosine (acos) function(s).
Can the Bite Angle be negative?
Yes, the Bite Angle, measured in Angle can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Bite Angle?
Bite Angle is usually measured using the Degree[°] for Angle. Radian[°], Minute[°], Second[°] are the few other units in which Bite Angle can be measured.
