Record 1 1992-07-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Gears and Friction Wheels
DEF

OBS

Term and definition standardized by ISO.

Domaine(s)
  • Engrenages et roues de friction
DEF

Plus petit angle dont on doit faire tourner un des axes pour l'amener en superposition (engrenage concourant) ou en parallélisme (engrenage gauche) avec l'autre, de telle sorte que les sens de rotation des roues soient opposés.
