Knurling Calculator

Knurling Calculator calculator can be used to calculate the force required to knurl a surface based on the diameter of the workpiece, the diameter of the knurling tool, and the coefficient of friction.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Force (F) = π * (D + d) * μ

Where:
F = Force required to knurl (N)
π = Pi (approximately 3.14159)
D = Workpiece Diameter (mm)
d = Knurling Tool Diameter (mm)
μ = Coefficient of Friction

Result

Force (F) = 0 N

How to Use the Knurling Calculator

  1. Enter the diameter of the workpiece in millimeters (mm).
  2. Enter the diameter of the knurling tool in millimeters (mm).
  3. Enter the coefficient of friction (a value between 0 and 1).
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the force required to knurl the surface.
  5. The result will be displayed in Newtons (N).

Understanding the Formula

The force required to knurl a surface is calculated using the formula: Force (F) = π * (D + d) * μ

Where:

  • F = Force required to knurl (N)
  • π = Pi (approximately 3.14159)
  • D = Workpiece Diameter (mm)
  • d = Knurling Tool Diameter (mm)
  • μ = Coefficient of Friction

Principle Explanations

Knurling is a process of creating a pattern on a surface, typically for aesthetic or functional purposes. The force required to knurl depends on the diameter of the workpiece and the knurling tool, as well as the coefficient of friction between the tool and the workpiece.
