UDC 621.833.1: 001.4 DEUTSCHE NORMEN September 1976
Denominations on Gears
and Gear Pairs
Cylindrical Gears and Gear Pairs
Benennungen an Zahnriidern und Zahnradpearen;
Stirnrader und Stirnradpaare (Zylinderrader und Zylinderradpaare)
This Standard contains the denominations of the international dictionary of definitions for gear tooth geometry,
Part 1 being concerned with general denominations, Part 2 with cylindrical gears and cylindrical gear pairs, Part 3 with
bbeval gears and bevel gear pairs as well as with hypoid gears and hypoid gear pairs, and Part 4 with worm gear pairs.
Supplementary Sheet 1 to DIN 3998 lists the keywords of the terminology in English and French in alphabetical
order. For connection with Recommendation ISO/R 1122 — 1969 issued by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO), see Explanations.
The sequence of the denominations and the consecutive numbering in DIN 3998 Part 1 to Part 4 agree with
Iso/R 1122.
The denominations are stated in English and French,
