Definitions:

Pinion Gear

A small gear that engages with a larger gear or rack, often used to transmit rotational motion in machinery.

Tooth Contact Pattern

The intermesh contact surfaces between a pair of mating gears; usually no-load tested using machinist’s (Prussian) blue or other semifluid test media.

Crown Gear

A large disc-shaped gear usually driven at right angles by a smaller pinion gear. It alters the torque path direction in a final drive carrier by 90 degrees, so that a longitudinal drive shaft can deliver transverse torque to the driving wheels.

Backlash

The gapping or play between mating gear teeth usually measured with thickness gauges or a dial indicator.
