Sprockets for Miniature Roller Chain
Often used in electronic equipment, instrumentation devices, printers, and other compact machinery, these sprockets are made for use with our miniature roller chain.
Acetal sprockets are lightweight, quiet, and nonconductive. Press fit them onto your shaft.

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.

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.

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.
