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.
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.

Metal Worms and Worm Gears
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 and pitch/module. 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.
Bronze gears have low friction and dissipate heat better than cast iron gears to provide a long service life for both the gear and the worm. They’re also more corrosion resistant than cast iron gears.

Metal Bevel Gears
A type of miter gear where one gear (sometimes called a pinion) is smaller than the other, bevel gears provide right-angle speed reduction at speed ratios ranging from 2:1 to 5:1. All are carbon steel for strength; they're compatible with plastic bevel gears. Teeth are not hardened so you can harden them to fit your application. Hardening a gear’s teeth increases its wear resistance.
A complete set consists of a gear and pinion (sold separately). For a gear and pinion to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle, pitch/module, and face width. Speed ratio is the ratio by which shaft speed is reduced when transferring motion from pinion to gear. To increase shaft speed, transfer motion from gear to pinion. Changing shaft speed also changes torque: as speed decreases, torque increases.

Plastic Worm Gears
These plastic gears are lighter and quieter than metal gears—pair them with metal worms for lubrication-free operation. 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 and module.
Speed ratio is the ratio by which output shaft speed is reduced. As speed decreases, torque increases.
Acetal gears are lightweight, and resist corrosion and chemicals. They absorb less moisture than nylon gears, so they’re less prone to dimensional changes. They’re best suited for light duty applications, such as prototyping.

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 hardened teeth are more wear resistant than gears with teeth that are not hardened.
