    Can anyone help with an explanation of a couple of terms. Google is useful but not completly understanding a couple of things.

    Specifically 5/16 face. Whats this?
    16 pitch is the tpi perhaps
    Bore interference fit for boss means it will have to be pressed into a hole, or something will be pressed into the hole in the centre of this ring gear…

    Any help much appreciated.

    The width of the contact surface?

    Are there any more views/elevations on the drawing?

    I thought I was pretty good at reading engineering drawing/sketches, but that makes my head hurt.

    It’s gear tetminology.

    Pitch = (teeth +2)/od.

    50+2/3.25 =16

    5/16″ wide tooth

    I can’t see anything refering to a thread on that section of drawing.

    It’s all  relating to a gear, 50 teeth @ 16 diametral pitch with 5/16″ face width (effective width of the gear).

    Found a calculator here https://evolventdesign.com/pages/blank-calc?srsltid=AfmBOoobxsgp7bOTdcdnGaOVADYR222NDQDWhikOLjACyVzdLvpKHGvL

    Number of Teeth: 50
    Diametral Pitch: 16
    Pressure Angle: 14.5 degrees
    Gear Type: External

    OD Reference: 82.5500 mm 3.2500 in
    Pitch Diameter: 79.3750 mm 3.1250 in

    Tapered face of an individual tooth. Terminology with drawing here, scroll down… https://themechanicalengineering.com/spur-gear/

    something will be pressed into the hole in the centre of this ring gear…

    In engineering “boss” can mean any of a few things. It could be part of a shaft that the gear is mounted on and it can be the hole that a shaft is fitted into; it protrudes

    Interference for suggests that the gear won’t be turning around the boss but driving whats on the other end.

    There should be some specification for the pressure angle aswell shouldn’t there?
