A mating gear pair must have same module(m), which are meadurements of tooth sizes, (0.3mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, etc.) as well as the same pressure angle.
Outside diameter: Dk = D0 + 2m
Pitch diameter: D0= Z x m
Circular pitch: Pc =
p x m
On the above formula, it shown that the pitch diameters of mating gear are tangent to each others. Hence, we can determine the centre distance between any spur gears are show here: a = (Z1 + Z2)m/2 = D01 + D02/2
Where:
a = Distance between two gear center point
Z= No. of teeth
m= Module in mm
