Note that in Table 11-1 only the radial or circular (plane
of rotation) contact ratio is considered. This is true of both
the spur and helical gear equations. However, for helical
gears this is only one component of two. For the helical
gear's total contact ratio, , the overlap (axial) contact ratio,
Contact
, must be added. See Paragraph 11.4.

Contact Ratio
This group pertains to screw gearing and worm gearing. The equations are
approximations by considering the worm and worm gear mesh in the plane perpendicular to
worm gear axis and likening it to spur gear and rack mesh. Table 11-3 presents these equations.

Helical gears and spiral bevel gears have an overlap of tooth action in the axial
direction. This overlap adds to the contact ratio. This is in contrast to spur gears which
have no tooth action in the axial direction.
