Slip-Fit Steel Pinion Gear (8mm REX® Bore, MOD 0.8, 24T)

This 24 tooth 8mm REX® bore pinion gear is ready to rip! The bore perfectly matches our 8mm REX® shafting to create a positive drive.

Slip-fit components save real estate when a nearby component can provide the axial constraint. That convenient space-saving accumulates all the more when multiple slip-fit components are used in the same assembly, like a gear train!

Slip-fit components require axial constraint. This can be provided by nearby components, as well as any surfaces that prevent the gear from moving linearly down the length of the shaft. There are many components that can perform this function, from collars, to hubs, to the E-clip of the shaft—and you can even achieve bookend-style constraint via a just-right stack-up of components and spacers to fill space between bearings on a shaft!

This gear can mesh with any MOD 0.8 gear to produce an underdrive or overdrive ratio depending on if you’d like to increase the speed, or maximize torque. If you are building with goBILDA® channel, this gear is able to be meshed with a 96 tooth gear spaced 48mm away for a 4:1 ratio, or, it can mate to a 36 tooth gear spaced 24mm away for a 1.5:1 ratio. Notice the built-in shim on both sides of the gear---this allows you to run right up against an 8mm bearing without the use of a shim!
