Preliminary Design Considerations

Note: Tolerance values above are given in both microns (μm) and ten-thousands of an inch (10-4 in.). For definition of tolerances, see Figure 7.50. T-to-T stands for
tooth-to-tooth spacing tolerance; Cum. stands for cumulative spacing tolerance. Runout values are about 10% lower than concentricity values determined with
a master gear.
