## Inputs

| Name                 | Type    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| -------------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Number of Teeth`    | Integer | Total number of teeth on the gear. Common values: 12–20 for pinions, 20–60 for standard gears. More teeth = smoother transmission but larger diameter.                                                                                   |
| `Pressure Angle`     | Scalar  | Angle (degrees) between the tooth force direction and the tangent to the pitch circle. Standard values are **20°** (most common, ISO/AGMA default) or **14.5°** (legacy). Higher angles increase tooth strength but raise bearing loads. |
| `Module`             | Scalar  | Ratio of pitch diameter to number of teeth (mm/tooth). Controls overall gear size — larger module = bigger, stronger teeth. Common values: 1, 1.25, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5. Two meshing gears must share the same module.                  |
| `Dedendum Clearance` | Scalar  | Extra radial depth below the pitch circle, beyond the standard dedendum, to prevent tip-to-root contact with a mating gear. Typically **0.25 × module** (e.g. 0.5 mm for module 2).                                                      |
