The pressure angle is an important parameter in the design of gear teeth and other mechanical components that involve rotational motion and meshing parts. It is defined as the angle between the line of action (the line along which the force is transmitted between mating gears) and a line that is perpendicular to the line of centers of the two gears at the point of contact.
