1
The height by which a tooth of a gear projects beyond (outside for external, or inside for internal) the standard pitch circle or pitch line; also, the radial distance between the pitch diameter and the outside diameter
Addendum
2
In a bevel gear, is the angle between elements of the face cone and pitch cone
Addendum angle
3
Coincides with the tops of the teeth of a gear and is concentric with the standard (reference) pitch circle and radially distant from it by the amount of the addendum. For external gears, the addendum circle lies on the outside cylinder while on internal gears the addendum circle lies on the internal cylinder
Addendum circle
4
In a bevel gear or hypoid gear, is the distance in the direction of the axis from the apex of the pitch cone to a locating surface at the back of the blank
Apex to back
5
Of a bevel gear is the angle between an element of the back cone and a plane of rotation, and usually is equal to the pitch angle
Back Angle
6
Of a bevel or hypoid gear is an imaginary cone tangent to the outer ends of the teeth, with its elements perpendicular to those of the pitch cone. The surface of the gear blank at the outer ends of the teeth is customarily formed to such a back cone
Back Cone
7
In a bevel gear is the distance along an element of the back cone from its apex to the pitch cone
Back cone distance
8
The striking back of connected wheels in a piece of mechanism when pressure is applied. Another source defines it as the maximum distance through which one part of something can be moved without moving a connected part
Backlash
9
Reasons for requiring backlash include
Allowing for lubrication, manufacturing errors, deflection under load and thermal expansion
10
Of an involute gear is the circle from which involute tooth profiles are derived
Base Circle
11
Corresponds to the base circle, and is the cylinder from which involute tooth surfaces are developed
Base cylinder
12
Of an involute gear is the diameter of the base circle
Base Diameter
13
Used to refer to the larger of two spur gears that are in engagement in any machine
Bull gear
