Module to circular pitch

Type a value in m to get it in CP (mm) instantly.

31.42CP (mm)

That's 1.67× as coarse as a truck final drive, while a rolling mill gear is 2× coarser. A 20-tooth gear of this size would be 200 mm across.

What it means

How big are those teeth?

Module and pitch describe tooth size only. Gears also need the same pressure angle, usually 20°, before they will run together.

The math

How to convert m to CP (mm)

To convert module to circular pitch, multiply by 3.14159.

Example: 10 m × 3.14159 = 31.4159 CP (mm).

In the other direction, 1 CP (mm) = 0.31831 m.
