XL Series Lightweight Timing Belt Pulleys
Acetal and aluminum construction makes these pulleys useful in weight-sensitive applications. All are XL series (extra light) and have trapezoidal teeth. Select a pulley with a maximum belt width that’s the same or larger than your timing belt width.

Metal Gears and Gear Racks—20° Pressure Angle
The current industry standard, these 20° pressure angle gears have thicker, stronger teeth than 14½° pressure angle gears. Compared to plastic gears and racks, they’re better for high-load, high-speed, and heavy duty applications. Also known as spur gears.
Combine gears with different numbers of teeth to change speed and torque in your assembly. Combine a gear and rack to convert rotary motion into linear motion. To minimize your footprint, mount one or more standard gears inside of an internal gear.
For components to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle and pitch/module.
Brass gears and racks are easy to machine, so you can add your own mounting holes and make other alterations. They won't rust when exposed to water.
Gears with teeth that are not hardened can be hardened to fit your application.
Stainless steel gears and racks resist rust in damp and wet environments, so they're commonly used in food-processing plants and other areas with frequent cleaning.

Plastic Gears and Gear Racks—14 1/2° Pressure Angle
A former industry standard, 14½° pressure angle gears are often found on older machinery. Made of plastic, they run quieter than metal gears and have good corrosion and chemical resistance. They’re also known as spur gears.
Combine gears with different numbers of teeth to change speed and torque in your assembly. Combine a gear and rack to convert rotary motion into linear motion.
For components to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle and pitch.

Plastic Miter Gears
Connect two shafts at a right angle without changing shaft speed or torque. Made of plastic, these gears run quieter than metal gears and have good corrosion and chemical resistance.
For two gears to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle, pitch/module, and number of teeth.
Nylon gears are self-lubricating, so they’re often used in food machinery. However, they’re not approved for direct contact with food or chemicals that will come into contact with food.
