Re: Gear pitch preference

we have used 32 pitch (or 0.7 mod for the Bosch) for a lot of our gears in the past. However, for some of the high power systems (three motor drives) we used 20 pitch. We have tended to vary face width as a way to (0.25", 0.375", 0.5") as a way to optimize beyond the pitch.
