Pressure angle 25 degrees. Earlier gears with pressure angle 14.5 were commonly used because the cosine is larger for a smaller angle, providing more power transmission and less pressure on the bearing; however, teeth with smaller pressure angles are weaker. To run gears together properly their pressure angles must be matched. The pressure angle is also the angle of the sides of the trapezoidal teeth on the corresponding rack. The force transmitted during the mating of gear teeth acts along the normal. This force has components along the pitch line and the other along the line perpendicular to the pitch line. The
Less than truckload shipping Less than truckload shipping Less than truckload shipping or less than load (LTL) is the transportation of relatively small freight. The alternatives to LTL carriers are parcel carriers or full truckload carriers. Parcel carriers usually handle small packages and freight that can be broken down into units less than . Full truckload carriers move freight that is loaded into a semi-trailer. Semi-trailers are typically between and require a substantial amount of freight to make such transportation economical. There are several different perspectives as to what is actually considered LTL. Full Truck Load carriers can put anywhere from 2 to 6
