Timing Belt Idler Pulleys
Add these free-spinning pulleys to your timing belt setup to minimize vibration and keep belts from wearing out. The needle bearing at the center of these pulleys is lined with small, cylindrical rollers that reduce friction as they rotate. This bearing allows both the pulley and the shaft it’s mounted on to spin independently. Made from iron or steel, these pulleys are strong and wear-resistant. The black oxide coating protects the pulleys from corrosion in dry environments.
Trapezoidal teeth on the outside of the pulley fit into teeth inside your timing belt—select a pulley that matches your belt trade size. The maximum belt width should be the same size or larger than the width of your timing belt.

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.
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.

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.
