  • Backlash is the difference between the tooth space and the tooth thickness, as measured on the pitch circle.
  • Face width is the width of the gear tooth measured parallel to its axis.
  • Working depth is radial distance from the addendum circle to the clearance circle. It is equal to the sum of the addendum of the two meshing gears.
  • Clearance is the radial distance from the top of the tooth of one gear to the bottom of the tooth of other gear, in a meshing gear.
