FOREWORD
[The foreword, footnotes, and appendices, if any, are provided for informational purposes only, and
should not be construed as a part of American Gear Manufacturers Association 9 lo-C90, Formats for
Fine-Pitch
Gear Specification
Data.]
Gathering of data for this Information Sheet, including questionnaires and surveys, was begun in the
spring of 1953. The committee recognized at that time the need for standardized fine-pitch gear drawing
format data. Individual sections on spur, helical, straight bevel, spiral and Zero1 bevel gears; worm and
wormgears; face gears and pinions; and spur and helical racks were first prepared by the Task Committee
on Drawing Formats.
Each section was carefully reviewed by the Fine-Pitch Gearing Committee. Certain sections were
reworked to bring them in line with the work being done by the Aerospace Gearing Committee in the field
of angular accuracy specification, The formats for spur and helical gears were published as Appendix C of
AGMA Standard 207.04 in June, 1956. The formats for worm and wormgears were published as
Appendix B of AGMA Standard 374.03 in July, 1956. The early development work, continued review
and revision, and field testing has resulted in this Information Sheet which the committee feels is based on
sound gear engineering and one which can be easily understood by both the shopman and inspector.
The first complete draft of this Information Sheet was prepared in September, 1957. It was approved
by the AGMA membership in February, 1961. Printing of the Information Sheet was held up in order to
make it conform to AGMA 390.03, AGMA Gear Handbook, Volume 1, Gear Classification, Materials

uc. Chordal addendum is

the height from the top of the tooth to the chord
subtending the circular thickness arc.
This
dimension is required when making chordal tooth
thickness measurements of the gears.
1. Scope
Chordal
The formats supplied are intended as guides

in the preparation of fine-pitch (20 diametral
pitch or finer) gear drawings. They show the
proper data to be placed on drawings of gears
which are to be used for general purpose light
loads or control gear applications. In each case
the data shown indicates the minimum or basic
number of items that should be specified for each
type of gearing.
Chordal Thickness,
tc. Chordal Thickness is
the length of the chord subtending a circular
thickness arc. It is generally difficult to make
chordal tooth measurements on gears of diametral
pitches finer than 48 or worms finer than 0.065
circular pitch. Other means of specifying gear
tooth thickness may be required for very fine
diametral pitch gears.
2. Definitions of Terms
Composite
Action
Test (Double
Flank).
The
composite action test is a method of inspection in

which the work gear is rolled in tight double flank
contact with a master or a specified gear, in order
to determine composite variations.
The
composite action test must be made on a variable
center distance composite action test device.
a. Addendum is the height by which

a tooth projects beyond (outside for external, or
inside for internal) the standard pitch circle or
pitch line; also the radial distance between the
pitch circle and the addendum circle.

Control Gear Part Number. Control gear part
number is a reference to the specific gear to be
used to control the tooth thickness of the gear
under consideration. Since master gears are not
commonly available for bevel gears, it is
customary to use a control gear, which is obtained

by selection, when inspecting subsequent gears of

a given gear tooth design.
Helix Angle, $. Helix angle is the angle between

any helix and an element of its cylinder. In
helical gears and worms, it is at the standard pitch
circle unless otherwise specified.
Cutter Number.
Cutter number is a specification
of the cutter to be used to cut the face gear. The
correct generation of a face gear tooth profile is
dependent upon the correct selection of the
cutter.
Initial Contact Area.

Initial contact area is a
specification of the amount of the area of contact
between master and gear. An initial area of
contact of approximately 50 percent is generally
considered satisfactory.
Dedendum, b. Dedendum is the depth of a tooth

space below the standard (reference) pitch circle
or pitch line; also the radial distance between the
pitch circle and the root circle.
Inner diameter is the diameter

of the cylinder bounding the inner ends of the
face gear teeth. This diameter is given a plus
tolerance.
Inner
Dedendum in bevel gearing is the portion of

the tooth extending below the pitch cone and is
measured at the outer end of the teeth.
Lead.
Lead is the axial advance of a helix for
one complete revolution (360 degrees), as in the
threads of cylindrical worms, and the teeth of
helical gears. It also applies to the teeth of a
wormgear.
Face Angle, TO. Face angle, in a bevel or hypoid

gear, is the angle between an element of the face
cone and its axis. The face cone is customarily
defined by the top lands of the teeth. In some
designs of bevel gearing the face cone elements do
not pass through the apex.
Grinding
Wheel or Cutter
Diameter.
Lead Angle, X. Lead angle is the angle between

any helix and a plane of rotation.
It is the
complement of the helix angle and is used for
convenience in worms and hobs. It is understood
to be at the pitch diameter unless otherwise
specified.
Grinding
wheel or cutter diameter is a necessary

specification of the size of the cutter required to
produce the desired worm thread profile. The
thread profile can be shown to vary depending on
the diameter of the cutter used to produce the
thread.
Lead Tolerance.
Lead tolerance is the allowable
departure from the theoretical lead. In the case
of a single thread worm the lead tolerance is
customarily specified over one turn and over three
turns of the thread. In the case of multiple thread
worms, lead tolerance is specified over 1 axial
pitch and over three axial pitches. Note: The
term lead tolerance does not apply to helical
gears. Tooth Alignment Tolerance is the proper
term. See ANWAGMA
2000-A88 for a more
complete discussion.
Hand of helix is the direction in

which the teeth twist as they recede from an
observer looking along the axis. A right hand
helix twists clockwise and a left hand helix twists
counterclockwise.

rack has teeth which recede toward the right when
viewed perpendicularly to the face of the rack;
that is, when viewed in a direction parallel to the
theoretical axis of the rack.
Machine
Set-up Summary.
Machine set-up
summary is the information required to make
machine settings. While the information for
machine settings may be shown on the part
drawing, it is customary, and usually preferred, to
have a separate data sheet giving this information.
When a separate data sheet is used, its summary
drawing number should be given on the part
drawing.
Hand of Spiral. Hand of spiral is the direction in

which the teeth twist from an observer looking
along the axis toward the face of the bevel gear. A
right hand spiral twists clockwise; left hand,
counterclockwise.

In face gearing, the mounting distance of the

face gear is the distance from the axis of the
pinion to the surface on the gear that controls its
axial position.
In wormgearing, the mounting distance is a
specification that controls the position of the
worm in the throat of the wormgear teeth.
referenced in one of the following manners:

number of teeth and basic tooth thickness, tool
number, or the code number of the master gear
required.
Mating Gear Part Number. Mating gear part
number may be shown as a convenient reference.
Normal Chordal Addendum,

ant. Normal
chordal addendum is the chordal addendum in
the plane normal to the pitch helix at the center
of the tooth. Any convenient measuring diameter
may be selected, not necessarily the pitch
diameter.
Maximum root
Maximum Root Diameter.
diameter is specified to assure adequate clearance
for the outside diameter of the mating gear.
Measurement Over Pins. Measurement over
pins is the measurement of the distance over a pin
positioned in a tooth space and a reference
surface. The reference surface may be the
reference axis of the gear, a datum surface or
either one or two pins positioned in a tooth space
or spaces opposite the first. This measurement is
used to determine tooth thickness and is not
applicable to face gears, bevel gears, or throated
wormgears.
Normal Chordal Thickness,

t nc. Normal
chordal thickness is the chordal thickness in the
plane normal to the pitch helix or the tooth trace
at the center of the tooth.
Any convenient
measuring diameter may be selected, not
necessarily the pitch diameter.
Number of Teeth, N. The number of teeth in 360
degrees of gear circumference. In case of a sector
gear, both the actual number of teeth in the sector
and the theoretical number of teeth in 360
degrees should be given.
Worms are usually checked over 3 wires.

Balls may be used for larger size internal helical
gears.
Number of Threads. The number of threads in a

worm is the number of threads contained in the
whole circumference of the pitch circle. The term
starts is sometimes used to differentiate
between the number of convolutions along the
length of the worm, and individual number of
threads.
Minimum
Minimum Backlash at Assembly.
backlash at assembly is often specified to assist in
the assembly operation when adjustable centers
are used.
Minimum
Operating
Mounting
Distance.
Minimum operating mounting distance is often
specified to eliminate the necessity of getting
prints of the mating gear and assemblies for
checking the design specifications, interference,
backlash and determination of master gear
specification.
Number of Threads or Teeth.

Number of
threads or teeth in mating part is shown for
reference purposes only.
Outer Cone Distance, 4.
The outer cone
distance in bevel gears is the distance from the
apex of the pitch cone to the outer ends of the
teeth. When not otherwise specified, the short
term cone distance is assumed to be outer cone
distance. It is customary to give the diametral
pitch, tooth thickness, addendum, and dedendum
in bevel gears at the outer cone distance and,
although not essential, to make the elements of
the back cone perpendicular to the elements of
the pitch cone.
Mounting Distance. Mounting distance is the

distance from the axis of the mating part to the
mounting surface of the part under consideration
in gearing on perpendicular axes.
In bevel gearing, the mounting distance of the
gear is the distance from the axis of the pinion to
the surface of the gear that controls its axial
position. The mounting distance of the pinion is
the distance from the axis of the gear to the
surface of the pinion that controls its axial
position.
AGMA
Outer Diameter. Outer diameter is the diameter

of the cylinder bounding the outer ends of the
9 lo-c90
gear and its mate should equal the shaft angle of

the pair. Although pitch angle cannot be directly
measured, it is a convenience when considering
the engineering aspect of the gear.
face gear teeth. This diameter is given a minus

tolerance.
Outside Diameter, D,. Outside diameter is the
diameter of the addendum (outside) circle. In a
bevel gear it is the diameter of the crown circle.
In a throated wormgear it is the maximum
diameter of the blank.
The term applies to
external gears.
Pitch Plane to Reference Surface Dimension.

Pitch plane to reference surface dimension of a
spur or helical rack is that dimension used to
establish location of the pitch plane.
The
reference surface usually is, but may or may not
be, the mounting surface.
Outside diameter is usually shown on the

drawing of the gear together with other blank
dimensions so that it will not be necessary for
machine operators to search gear tooth data for
this dimension. Since outside diameter is also
used in the manufacture and inspection of the
teeth, it may be included in the data block with
other tooth specifications if preferred. To enable
use of topping hobs for cutting gears on which the
tooth thickness has been modified from standard,
the outside diameter should be related to the
specified equivalent testing radius.
See test
radius.
Point Width of Grinding Wheel or Cutter.

Point width of grinding wheel or cutter is a
specification controlling the space width and the
whole depth of the thread of the worm.
Pressure Angle, +, is in general the angle at a
pitch point between the line of pressure which is
normal to the tooth surface, and the plane tangent
to the pitch surface. The pressure angle gives the
direction of the normal to the tooth profile. The
pressure angle is equal to the profile angle at the
standard pitch circle and can be termed the
*standard pressure angle at that point.
Pitch, Axial. Axial pitch is the pitch of a gear

parallel to the axis of rotation.
Profile Angle, Normal, $r. The normal profile

angle is the angle at a point on the pitch cylinder
between the line of action which is normal to the
tooth surface and the plane tangent to the pitch
cylinder.
Pitch, Circular, p. Circular pitch is the distance

along a specified pitch circle or pitch line between
corresponding profiles of adjacent teeth. Unless
otherwise specified it is given on the standard
pitch circle.
Profile Angle, Transverse, $ . The transverse

profile angle is the profile angle in a transverse
plane.
Pitch, Diametral, pd. Diametral pitch is the

ratio of the number of teeth to the pitch diameter
in the transverse plane. It is also defined from the
pitch of the basic rack.
Quality Number, AGMA, Q. AGMA quality

number is specified for convenience when talking
or writing about the accuracy of the gear. These
classes are defined in ANWAGMA
2000-A88
and AGMA 390.03a.

Pitch, Normal Diametral, P&I. The normal
diametral pitch is a ratio of the pitch diameter to
the number of teeth corrected by the helix angle.
In helical gearing, the diametral pitch can be
referenced to the normal plane by applying the
cosine of the helix angle.

Root Angle, rR.

Root angle, in a bevel or
hypoid gear, is the angle between an element of
the root cone and its axis. The root cone is
customarily defined by the bottom lands of the
teeth; however, in some designs of straight bevel
gears the bottom lands are not straight line
elements, and in other designs the root cone
elements do not pass through the pitch cone apex.
cos @
Pitch Angle, P. The pitch angle in bevel gears is

the angle between an element of a pitch cone and
its axis. In external and internal gears, the pitch
angles are respectively less than and greater than
90 degrees. The sum of the pitch angles of the

Shaft Angle, C. The shaft angle is the angle

between the axes of two non-parallel gear shafts.
In a pair of crossed helical gears, the shaft angle

two shafts. This applies also in the case of

wormgearing. In bevel gears, the shaft angle is the
sum of the two pitch angles. In hypoid gears, the
shaft angle is given when starting a design, and it
does not have a fixed relation to the pitch angles
and spiral angles.
Testing Load.
Tooth
e. Spiral angle, in a spiral bevel

gear, is the angle between the tooth trace and an
element of the pitch cone, and corresponds to the
helix angle of helical teeth. Unless otherwise
specified, the spiral angle is understood to be at
the mean cone distance.
Spiral
Angle,
D. The standard pitch

diameter is the diameter of the standard pitch
circle. In spur and helical gears, unless otherwise
specified, pitch diameter is related to the number
of teeth and the standard transverse pitch. It is

The
Form.
Tooth form defines the pinion or
gear tooth profile, and may be specified as
standard addendum, long addendum, short
addendum, modified involute, or special. In case
a modified involute or special tooth form is
required, a detailed view should be shown on the
drawing.
Tooth
Nxph
Tooth form on worms and wormgears is a

specification of the profile of the thread or the
wormgear tooth. The section in which the tooth
form is specified should be noted. The worm
thread profile is usually controlled by a
specification of the cutter, and the wormgear
tooth profile may be controlled by a reference to
either the mating worm or preferably to the hob
designed to cut the wormgear. Special cases
should be controlled by reference to a tooth
profile chart.

considered to be acceptable on gears which meet
the maximum tooth-to-tooth composite tolerance
specification.
Surface Texture.
Test Radius, Rr . The test radius is a number

used as an arithmetic convention established to
simplify the determination of the proper test
distance between a master and a work gear for a
composite action test. It is used as a measure of
the effective size of a gear. The test radius of the
master, plus the test radius of the work gear is the
set-up center distance of a composite action test
device. Test radius is not the same as the
operating pitch radii of the two tightly meshing
gears unless both are perfect and to basic or
standard tooth thickness.
Tooth
Thickness.
Tooth thickness is the
thickness of a tooth at a specified diameter or
tooth height.
Maximum calculated circular thickness on

the standard pitch circle is the tooth thickness
which will provide the desired minimum backlash
when the gear is assembled in mesh with its mate
on minimum mounting distance. It is best
controlled by testing in tight mesh with a master
which integrates all the tolerances in the several
teeth in the mesh through the arc of action. It is
independent of the effects of runout. Circular
thickness is used for calculating purposes and is
not directly measured.
Testing dimension of a face gear is the

distance from the mounting surface of the face
gear to the standard pitch line of a standard
master when in intimate
contact under
recommended load on a variable center distance
running gage.
AGMA
Contact
tooth contact pattern of face gears is very sensitive

to small changes in mounting distance. In cases
where smooth operation is critical, it is desirable
not to depart more than +O.OOl inches from the
nominal setting. The shape and location of the
tooth contact pattern is influenced by cutter size,
cutter tilt, and blank proportions.

of addendum and whole depth on a wormgear are

customarily controlled by a specification of the
cutting tool used to produce the wormgear.
Maximum calculated thread thickness is the

thickness of the worm thread on a standard pitch
circle. It is the thickness which will provide the
desired minimum backlash when the gear is
assembled in mesh with the worm on minimum
center distance. It is best controlled by means of
chordal thickness or over-pins measurements. In
wormgearing it is customary to vary the thickness
of the worm thread in order to achieve the desired
backlash in the mesh. A change in the thickness
of the worm thread will not affect the initial
contact area between worm and thread to the
same degree as a change in the thickness of the
wormgear teeth.
In the case of face gearing whole depth is the

total depth of a tooth space. It is the distance
between the plane defining the roots of the teeth
and the plane defining the top lands of the teeth.
Whole Depth, h, . Whole depth is the total

depth of a tooth space. It is equal to the
addendum plus dedendum; also equal to working
depth plus clearance. Whole depth is used as a
guide in selecting the proper cutter. Its actual
value is dependent on the specification of outside
diameter.
In the case of bevel gears, whole depth is
specified at the large end or heel of the tooth.
In the case of wormgearing whole depth is the
total radial depth of the tooth or thread space. In
the case of the worm its actual value is dependent
on the specification of outside diameter and of
root diameter, or in some cases by a specification
of the point width of the cutter or grinding wheel,
and the thread thickness of the worm. The values
