Gear spacing

Hello CD,

Summer is almost upon us, and our team is gearing down for some R and R.

When designing gearboxes, I've read that the space between gears should be slightly larger than the sum of their radii. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

So my question is, how much spacing have you found works? What factors does the spacing depend on? (number of teeth, radius, profile, etc.)

Thanks,
Daniel D.
