Application Notes:
 

transverse circular pitch (p)


applies only for helical gears and is the circular pitch in the plane of rotation of the gear. Sometimes just called "circular pitch".

pn = p cos(ψ).

Several other helix parameters can be viewed either in the normal or transverse planes. The subscript " n " usually indicates the normal.
