Hi,
I observe in an automobile transmission that two meshing gears of same material are never of same face widths. Either the driver of driven is a couple or more millimeters wider than the other. Most of the time (not always) the pinion is wider than the gear.
Though I can assume that the pinion is wider for reinforcement purpose, why is it not always the case? Thanks.
