This document defines various terms used in gears. It describes key geometric features of gears such as the pitch circle, pitch diameter, pitch point, pressure angle, addendum, dedendum, circular pitch, module, clearance, total depth, face and flank of a tooth, top land, face width, profile, and fillet radius. It also discusses the pitch surface and path of contact between meshing gear teeth. The document is intended to explain gear terminology for students of kinematics of machines.

TERMS USED IN GEARS
• Pitch circle : It is an imaginary circle which by pure rolling action, would give the same motion as the actual gear • Pitch circle diameter : It is the diameter of the pitch circle. The size of the gear is usually specified by the pitch circle diameter. • Pitch point : It is a common point of contact between two pitch circles • Pitch surface : It is the surface of the rolling discs which the meshing gears have replaced at the pitch circle.
• Pressure angle or angle of obliquity : It is the angle between the common normal to two gear teeth at the point of contact and the common tangent at the pitch point. It is usually denoted by Φ The standard pressure angles are 141/2°and 20° • Addendum : It is the radial distance of a tooth from the pitch circle to the top of the tooth. • Dedendum : It is the radial distance of a tooth from the pitch circle to the bottom of the tooth

• Addendum circle : It is the circle drawn through the top of the teeth and is concentric with the pitch circle. • Dedendum circle : It is the circle drawn through the bottom of the teeth. It is also called root circle. • Circular pitch : It is the distance measured on the circumference of the pitch circle from a point of one tooth to the corresponding point on the next tooth. It is usually denoted by pc.
• Module : It is the ratio of the pitch circle diameter in millimeters to the number of teeth. it is usually denoted by m • Clearance : It is the radial distance from the top of the tooth to the bottom of the tooth, in a meshing gear. A circle passing through the top of the meshing gear • Total depth : It is the radial distance between the addendum and the dedendum circles of a gear. It is equal to the sum of the addendum and dedendum • Face of tooth: It is the surface of the gear tooth above the pitch surface. • Flank of tooth: It is the surface of the gear tooth below the pitch surface.
• Top land: It is the surface of the top of the tooth. • Face width: It is the width of the gear tooth measured parallel to its axis. • Profile: It is the curve formed by the face and flank of the tooth. • Fillet radius: It is the radius that connects the root circle to the profile of the tooth. • Path of contact: It is the path traced by the point of contact of two teeth from the beginning to the end of engagement
