How to Evaluate Length of Gear Tooth?

Length of Gear Tooth evaluator uses Length of Spur Gear Tooth = Beam Strength of Spur Gear Teeth/(Module of Spur Gear*Lewis Form Factor for Spur Gear*Bending Stress in Spur Gear Teeth) to evaluate the Length of Spur Gear Tooth, The Length of gear tooth formula is defined as the length of the protrusion on the circumference of a gear wheel. These teeth mesh with similar teeth of another gear and transmit motion and torque. The length of gear teeth is also equal to the sum of the addendum and the dedendum. Length of Spur Gear Tooth is denoted by bg symbol.
