Description
Multiply radius by arcPitchRadians for arcSpacing and subtract labelWidth for clearance.
A signed fit margin compares available space with an object and explicit allowances. Volume sufficiency, radial gaps, and diametral clearance are different conditions.
Multiply radius by arcPitchRadians for arcSpacing and subtract labelWidth for clearance.
When to use this tool
Use Dial Tick Label Angular Clearance when you need one transparent product fit or travel-margin term.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter radius, arcPitchRadians, labelWidth. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read arcSpacing, clearance. Use the output convention below.

| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| arcSpacing | Arc Spacing | Required. Finite number. |
| clearance | Clearance | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Label width is compared with arc length rather than chord distance; typography, viewing angle, and readability are not measured.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Check complete three-dimensional geometry, tolerances, materials, and operating conditions before judging actual fit or safety.
