gear tooth
Wheel's meshing point
A gear tooth is one of the projecting ridges on a gear wheel that meshes with corresponding teeth on another gear to transmit motion and force.
The shape, spacing, and size of gear teeth determine how smoothly and efficiently power transfers between rotating parts: The worn gear tooth caused the mechanism to slip.
