Tooth Thickness and Slot Width

 Transverse Tooth Thickness

In the end face of cylindrical gear, the arc length of reference circle between two sides of tooth profile is called transverse tooth thickness (see Figure 5-9). In terms of standard gear, the value is equal to the width of tooth space. According to GB1356-88, the transverse tooth thickness:tooth thickness and slot width 1.As for the deflection gear: tooth thickness and slot width 3.
