Abstract
The specification of a gear includes the diameters of a number of circles, such as the standard pitch circle and the tip circle. In addition to these circles, there are several others whose sizes must be determined by the designer, in order to check that the design will perform satisfactorily. We have already discussed the limit circle and the fillet circle of a gear. In this chapter we will introduce some other circles which are frequently needed, and we will show how their radii can be calculated.
