Calculation Formula

Helix Angle (θ) = arctan(Pitch / (2 * π * Radius))

Where:
θ = Helix Angle
Pitch = Vertical distance per revolution
Radius = Distance from the center of the helix

Helix Angel Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Helix Angel Calculator to find the angle of a helix.

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the pitch of the helix in the "Helix Pitch" field. This is the vertical distance the helix rises in one complete revolution.
  2. Enter the radius of the helix in the "Helix Radius" field. This is the distance from the center of the helix to the point where the tangent touches the helix.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the helix angle.
  4. The result will be displayed in the "Helix Angle" field in degrees.

Understanding the Helix Angle

The helix angle is the angle between the tangent to the helix at any point and a horizontal plane. It is an important parameter in various fields such as engineering, where it helps in designing helical structures like screws, springs, and roads.
