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.

Anodized aluminum has good corrosion resistance. Pulleys are MXL series (miniature extra light) and have trapezoidal teeth. The teeth match up with the grooves along the inside diameter of a timing belt in order to move components forward or backward. Select a pulley with a maximum belt width that’s the same or larger than your timing belt width.

For higher speed or higher torque applications, these GT series timing belt pulleys provide a more precise fit than HTD pulleys. Use them where accuracy is critical, such as in storage and retrieval systems or in robotics. Similar to HTD timing belt pulleys, their teeth are curved for high strength. The curved teeth create positive grip engagement with timing belts, so these pulleys do not require re-tensioning—unlike drives using V-belts or sheaves. And unlike chain drives, there’s no metal-on-metal contact, so these pulleys don’t require lubrication.

Anodized aluminum pulleys are lightweight and resist corrosion. They have a finished bore and come with set screws for mounting on shafts.

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.

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 machinable bore have a large hub diameter so you can machine them to fit your shaft.

Gears with teeth that are not hardened can be hardened to fit your application. Hardening a gear's teeth increases its wear resistance.

Worm gears use screw threads to make large reductions to shaft speed while transmitting motion at a right angle. They transmit motion from worm to gear and cannot be reversed. For gears and worms to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle, pitch/module, number of thread starts, and thread direction. These worms are compatible with plastic worm gears.

Speed ratio is the ratio by which output shaft speed is reduced. As speed decreases, torque increases.

Cast iron gears are strong and durable.
