MOTION - Gears - Pinion Gears

Pinion Gears

The pinion gears here are able to mount on a shaft without the need for a hub. While pinion gears are most commonly associated with being the first gear in a geartrain, they certainly don’t have to be.

8mm REX® Bore

If your build is going to take a beating, consider these 8mm REX® bore gears! Their goBILDA® signature positive-drive profile, and hardened steel construction, help them to provide ultra-reliable gear action in robust projects of all kinds.

Set-Screw

Dual set-screws provide a very compact way to axially constrain these gears on an 8mm REX® shaft, with no additional components required. And alongside the super-reliable attachment security of set-screws, each of these gears rocks a built-in shim—which provides for running them up against a bearing without contacting the bearing’s outer race!

Slip-Fit

Sometimes, compactness is key! Also sometimes, nearby components can provide the axial constraint! And on those points, the slip-fit function of these positive-drive gears can help you to achieve awesomely compact gear assemblies. Naturally, their built-in shims provide plenty of convenience in their common use-cases.

6mm D-Bore

If you’re using a motor with a 6mm D-shaft as an output, or you have built your project using 6mm D-shafts as the axles, these D-bore gears match the shaft profile in order to create a positive drive between the shaft and the gear.

6mm Round Bore

A true maker is about integrating and repurposing. If the D-bore pinion gears just won’t fit your motor or axle that you’ve chosen to use in your project, check out these 6mm round bore gears.
