Differential Gear Dimensions
Differential Gear Dimensions
(OP)
Where would I find the differential gear design parameters useful in calculating the side gear separating forces? I am looking for such values as 'theta,' 'alpha,' and Rg for use in the equation F = T x tan (theta) x sin (alpha) / Rg

Let me restate. I need to obtain definition of terms and their values, along with relevant equations, suitable for calculating the side gear separating force as a function of applied torque, for a given gearset.
I am not attempting to design a gearset, but need to understand the separating force for any gearset I might run across (Ford, GM, Chrysler, etc.).

(ii) You will see that the total separating force that acts from four (two)pinions on one side gear strongly depends on the tooth numbers of the side gear and the pinion. With this method, you will understand the separating force for any gearset you might run across (Ford, GM, Chrysler, etc.).
