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 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.

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.
