XL Series Corrosion-Resistant Timing Belt Pulleys
Pulleys are anodized aluminum, which is more corrosion resistant than steel. They 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.
For tight spots, choose a pulley without a hub.

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.
Carbon steel components have hard, strong, and wear-resistant teeth, although they will rust when exposed to moisture and corrosive chemicals. They're best for high-torque machines, like lifting equipment, and heavy duty applications, such as rock crushing. 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.

High-Power Metal Gears
The helical teeth on these gears stay in contact for longer than straight teeth, which allows them to transmit higher loads at higher speeds than spur gears.
For gears to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle and pitch. All of these gears transmit motion in a straight line—make sure to get one left-hand and one right-hand gear. To change speed and torque in your assembly, pair two gears with different numbers of teeth.
Parallel helical components have a 21 1/2° helix angle so they only transmit motion in a straight line since the helix angle is so small. Made from alloy steel, these gears resist abrasion and are stronger than carbon steel gears. Their teeth are ground, so they're more precise than gears with rolled teeth. Pair them with a rack or a gear that has a different tooth direction.
Gears with hardened teeth have better wear resistance than gears with teeth that are not hardened.

Plastic 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. 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/module.
Acetal gears are best suited for use in light duty machines or for prototyping.
Nylon gears can be operated without lubrication, so they’re commonly used in food-processing machines.
