Japanese term or phrase: 欠歯
The context in which this term is found is: 「クランクセンサが欠歯から欠歯の間に検出した歯数が56枚でない」. I researched the term and there seem to be some type of gear called 欠歯ギヤ.

Any help would be appreciated.

This is a gear with intentionally missing teeth, where the missing tooth positions are used for detection.

Notes to answerer
Asker: I think Roland's explanation fits the context. One Google search result of 欠歯ギヤ shows an example of this type of gear. Visualizing it this way, I would render the sentence as "The crank sensor did not detect 56 teeth from one toothless portion to the next".

agree  Marc Brunet: Agree. Next problem is to work out from context whether Teeth count is used to confirm teeth pitch within that interval, or actually missing teeth.

neutral  Roland Hechtenberg: A sector gear has sections with teeth and sections without teeth, which is not necessarily the case here.

agree  jgraves: I think this it is referring to a particular sector of a sector gear, not the gear itself. I.e. there are less teeth than expected in one of the toothed sectors (literally "the sector between toothless sections" in the example).
