Fundamentals

Compute resonant frequency f0 of an LC tank from L (mH) and C (µF).

This tool computes LC Resonance Frequency from the formula: f0 = 1/(2π√(L·C))

History

Design theory of gears, threads and bearings matured with machine tools and standardisation (AGMA, ISO) since the Industrial Revolution.

Engineering applications

Used for transmission design, joint strength checks and component selection.

Formula

核心计算关系:f0 = 1/(2π√(L·C))

输入变量:

  • Inductance L L — mH
  • Capacitance C C — µF

输出结果:

  • Resonant f0 f0 — Hz

假设/适用:Gearing/thread formulas assume standard, zero-backlash mounting; include error & load factors K_A.

Worked Example

根据公式 f0 = 1/(2π√(L·C)),取 Inductance L = 10 mH;Capacitance C = 100 µF。

代入计算得:Resonant f0 = 159.2 Hz。

Key Points

  • Gearing/thread formulas assume standard, zero-backlash mounting; include error & load factors K_A.
  • Compare stress with allowable stress and keep a safety factor (≥1.5, ≥2 for critical parts).
  • For high speed/load also check lubrication, heat and fatigue life, not just static strength.
