Quick-Grip Screw-Clamp Bushings
Also known as Trantorque bushings, these tighten with a twist of the collar nut—no screws needed. As you tighten the collar nut, the inner sleeve contracts onto the shaft and the outer sleeve expands to hold your sprocket, pulley, or gear.

Self-Adjusting Spring Bushings
A toothed slot lets these bushings contract for insertion into the bore of your sprocket or pulley and then expand for a snug fit. Made of spring steel, they flex under stress and shock and can handle oscillating or slow rotational motion.

Light Duty Sleeve Bushings
Reduce the ID of sprockets, pulleys, and gears in low-torque applications. Bushings have a hole for a set screw.

Metal 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 carbon steel, they have high strength and are better than plastic gears and gear racks for high-load, high-speed, and heavy duty applications.
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.
Gears with teeth that are not hardened can be hardened to fit your application. Hardening a gear's teeth increases its wear resistance.

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.

Metal Ratcheting Gears
Compared to plastic gears, these metal ratcheting gears are better for high-load, high-speed, and heavy duty applications. Used to prevent unwanted motion in jacks, tie downs, clutches, and winches, ratchet gears have sloped teeth that allow motion in one direction and prevent it in the other. Gears with teeth that are not hardened can be hardened to fit your application. Hardening a gear’s teeth increases its wear resistance.

Plastic Ratcheting Gears
A light duty alternative to metal, these plastic ratcheting gears run quieter than metal gears and have good corrosion and chemical resistance. Used to prevent unwanted motion in spools, clocks, and printers, ratchet gears have sloped teeth that allow motion in one direction and prevent it in the other.
A pawl is required to prevent backward motion.

Gear Rod Stock
Machine your own gears to fit the exact face width and shaft diameter required. Rod stock has teeth with a 20° pressure angle, the current industry standard. 20° pressure angle gears have thicker, stronger teeth than 14½° pressure angle gears. Teeth are not hardened so you can machine and harden them to fit your application. Hardening a gear’s teeth increases its wear resistance. Also known as spur gear rod stock.
For gears to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle and pitch.
