hammasleveys
Hammasleveys is a Finnish term that translates to "tooth width" or "gear width." In the context of mechanical engineering, it specifically refers to the axial width of a gear's teeth. This dimension is a critical parameter in the design and manufacturing of gears, influencing their load-carrying capacity, contact ratio, and overall performance.
A wider hammasleveys generally allows a gear to transmit more torque and withstand higher forces before failure.
The hammasleveys is typically specified in millimeters or inches and is an integral part of gear specifications
