Pitch circ!"
-t is the imaginary circle that rolls without slip with a pitch
circle of a mating gear.
Pitch P#i$t"
-t is the point of tangency of two pitch circles and is on the
line.of.centers. The pitch point of a tooth pro/le is at its
intersection with the pitch circle.
Circ%&r 'itch"
-t is the distance measured on the circumference of the
pitch circle from a point on the tooth to the corresponding
point on the ne0t tooth. 1athematically,

-t is the ratio of the pitch circle diameter in millimeters to the number of teeth.

The recommended series of the modules in -ndian standard are

-t is the distance between the tooth space and the tooth thic'ness of mating
gear as measured on the pitch circle.
2urpose of bac'lash!
prevent gears from jamming together
ma'ing contact on both sides of their teeth simultaneously.
<ac' of bac'lash may cause noise, overloading, overheating of the gears and
bearings, and even sei=ing and failure.
>0cessive bac'lash is objectionable,
particularly if the drive is frequently
reversing, or if there is an overrunning
load as in cam drives. >0cess bac'lash
causes noisy operation.
Pr!**%r! A$+!"
-f a tangent is drawn to the involute pro/le of a tooth at any
point on the curve, and if a radius line is drawn through this
point of tangency connecting this point with the centre of the
gear, then the acute angle included between this tangent
and radial line is de/ned as pressure angle at that point.
-n gear design, the pressure angle is measured at the pitch
point.
