Reverse Gear
Base Helix Angle
Gear term index
   
The angle, at the base cylinder of an involute gear, that the tooth makes with the gear axis.  
Whereas:
From Gear data
ß = helix angle (15º)
an = pressure angle normal (20º)
Formula:
Base Helix Angle: bb
= asin(sin(ß)*cos(an)
= asin(sin(15)*cos(20)
= asin(0.258819*0.9396926)
= asin(0.2432103)
= 0.245674211radians (14.07609542º)
