Distance between certain points on the gear teeth known as pitch points connected in a curve line to measure diameter, is the diameter of the pitch Circle
Pitch diameter
A gear having straight teeth cut on a rim parallel to the axis of rotation
Spur gear
Is the distance on the Base Circle in the plane of rotation between involute of the same pitch
Base circle diameter
Is the distance on the circumference of the pitch circle between corresponding points
Circular pitch
Radio distance from the center gear to the center of its mating gear of adjacent teeth
Center distance
Is the ratio of the number of teeth per inches of pitch diameter
Diametral pitch
Is the radial distance between the outside circle and the route Circle
Whole depth
Is the diameter of the circle that contains the tops of the teeth of an external gear
Outside diameter
Is the diameter of the circle which contains the root of the teeth
Root diameter
Is the radial or perpendicular distance between the pitch Circle and the top of the teeth
Addendum
Is the radio or perpendicular distance between the pitch Circle in the bottom of the tooth space
Dedendum
Is the greatest depth which a tooth of one gear extends into the tooth space of a mating gear
Working depth
Is the radial distance between the top of the tooth and the bottom of the mating tooth space
Clearance
Is the thickness of the tooth on the pitch Circle
Circular thickness
is the radius of a circular arc approximating the fillet curve
Fillet radius
