ISO 53 basic-profile gear rack, module 2.5

ISO 53 basic-profile gear rack, module 2.5: 20 teeth (157.08 mm long), 20° flanks, tips 2.5 mm above the pitch line, roots 3.125 mm below (whole depth 5.625 mm), root radius 0.950 mm, tooth thickness = space width = 3.927 mm on the pitch line; the pitch line is 8.125 mm above the back face, the bar is 15 mm wide and has no holes: length, width and body depth below the root are examples (not from the standard), the tooth numbers are the standard's

Exact dimensions. True size, no tolerance added. Threads are plain cylinders at the major diameter.
