10 Questions
Explain what the pitch circle is in gear terminology.
The pitch circle is an imaginary circle which passes through the pitch point having its centre at the axis of the gear, upon which all calculations are made.
What are pitch cylinders in the context of gears?
Pitch cylinders of a pair of gears in mesh are the imaginary friction cylinders, which by pure rolling together, transmit the same motion as the pair of gears.
Define space width in gear terminology.
Space width is the width of the tooth space along the pitch circle.
What is meant by backlash in the context of gears?
Backlash is the difference between the space width and the tooth thickness along the pitch circle, calculated as: Backlash = Space width - Tooth thickness.
What is the full depth of teeth in gear terminology?
The full depth of teeth is the total radial depth of the tooth space, calculated as: Full depth = Addendum + Dedendum.
What is the pitch circle in gear terminology?
The pitch circle is an imaginary circle which passes through the pitch point having its centre at the axis of the gear, upon which all calculations are made.
Define tooth thickness in gear terminology.
Tooth thickness is the thickness of the tooth measured along the pitch circle.
Explain the concept of space width in gear terminology.
Space width is the width of the tooth space along the pitch circle.
What is meant by full depth of teeth in gear terminology?
The full depth of teeth is the total radial depth of the tooth space, which equals the sum of addendum and dedendum.
Define backlash in the context of gears.
Backlash is the difference between the space width and the tooth thickness along the pitch circle, calculated as Space width - Tooth thickness.
