## Circular pitch $P_c$ is the arc distance between two adjacent teeth. The pitch diameter is used for calculating the distance between the centers of gears. Center distance: $$c = {d_1 + d_2 \over 2} = {(N_1 + N_2)m \over 2}$$ Diametral pitch: $$P = {N \over d}$$ Where: - $N$ is the number of teeth Module: $$m = {d \over N}$$
