    1) The pressure angle of the spline can be approximated by taking measurements of the topland width, root width, and depth of the spline teeth and using trigonometry. 2) Based on the example measurements provided, the approximated pressure angle was between 37.5 and 45 degrees. 3) It is recommended to design the external mating gear with a pressure angle of 37.5 degrees to match the internal spline.

    QUESTION
    I am a mechanical engineering student at the University of Kansas.
    I have a sprocket that has an internal spline. I am trying to design a
    mating gear with this internal spline.
    After buying a sprocket online, I was able to make a CAD model with the
    help of someone who does reverse engineering on gears. From this CAD
    drawing, how do I calculate the pressure angle of this gear? And how do
    I design the mating gear (external splined gear) for this part?
