Kugg
Kugg is a Swedish term used in mechanical engineering to denote a single tooth of a gear, or a cog. It is a component of a gear wheel, with the whole wheel typically referred to as kugghjul. In Swedish technical literature, kugg describes how each tooth interfaces with the corresponding tooth on a mating gear to transfer rotation and torque in a gear train.
The geometry of a kugg—its profile, width, and height—plays a central role in determining how smoothly gears
In practice, the term is primarily used within Swedish-language mechanical engineering and manufacturing contexts. When translating
Because kugg is a language-specific term, readers outside Swedish-speaking engineering communities may encounter it mainly in
