The distance between symmetrically arranged or corresponding parts of an armature, measured along a line, called the pitch line, drawn around its length. Sometimes half of this distance is called the pitch.

Helpful?           0
The distance, in bytes, between an address that represents the beginning of a bitmap line and the beginning of the next line. Do not confuse memory pitch and memory width, since not all display memory is laid out as one linear block. For example, with rectangular memory, the pitch of the display memory could include the width of the bitmap plus part of a cache. See also width and stride.

The nominal distance between the centers of adjacent features or traces on any layer of a printed circuit board. Also referred to as ‘center-to-center spacing’.

Travel distance of material per one revolution of core

Pitch refers to the distance from a point on a particular feature to the same point on the adjacent feature. Pitch, as used by the PWB industry, frequently defines the distance from the center of a circuit line (also called "trace") to the center of the adjacent line. The thinner the line and space (or finer the pitch), the more lines can be placed on the PWB.

Shot taken with a high-lofted club that goes a short distance and has a high trajectory.

The distance between centres of consecutive rivets of the same row.
Helpful?           0
The pitch of a screw is the thread distance from one crest to the next measured axially
Helpful?           0
the distance from centre to centre of the wire in adjacent active coils (recommended practice is to specify number of active coils rather than pitch).
Helpful?           0
(n) A thread term used to describe the distance measured parallel to the axis between corresponding points on adjacent thread forms. The pitch is equal to 1 divided by the number of threads per inch.
Helpful?           0
The distance from one thread to the next along the length of the fastener. Used mostly in metric, where it is expressed in millimeters.
Helpful?           0
The forward distance theoretically travelled by a propeller in one revolution.
Helpful?           0
The distance from center-to-center between leads of a component.
Helpful?           0
The distance between elements. With full-size computer keyboards, keys are spaced at 17mm center-to-center. Reducing this pitch even slightly can make the keyboard difficult to use. A common keyboard pitch for small form-factor computers is 14mm, which might not seem like much until you try to type on it.

The nominal distance from center to center of adjacent conductors.

Pitch is the distance between the teeth on a gear. A fine pitch gear has many small teeth and a coarse pitch gear has fewer, larger teeth. An interesting observation is that the stiffness of a gear tooth is not related to the pitch.

The linear distance between the centers of two adjacent I/Os or bumps.

Helpful?           0
The distance from the center of a pixel to the center of the next pixel. Pitch influences the resolution of a LED display that shows images. A small pitch translate to higher resolution. A large pitch translates to larger text/character sizes. The picture to the right indicates how pitch is measured.

In general terms, pitch is a measure of the size of the teeth of a sprocket or gear. It is the distance between two teeth at the pitch diameter. The larger the pitch, the larger the teeth. Several systems are used to designate pitch in gears, such as Diametral Pitch, Circular Pitch and Module. In describing sprockets a number (e.g. - 35, 120, 2040) designates the pitch, as well other defining dimensions of the sprocket and chain.
