Maximum Length of Arc of Approach evaluator uses Length of Arc of Contact = (Radius of Pitch Circle of Wheel+Radius of Pitch Circle of Pinion)*tan(Pressure Angle of Gear) to evaluate the Length of Arc of Contact, Maximum Length of Arc of Approach formula is defined as the distance measured along the curve of a gear tooth from the starting point of engagement to the point where the gear tooth reaches its highest point of single tooth contact. Length of Arc of Contact is denoted by L symbol.
