Buying tips

When selecting a spur gear, consider the required diametral pitch (DP), pressure angle (14.5° or 20°), material (steel for strength, brass or plastic for lower noise), bore size compatibility with your shaft, and tooth count for desired speed ratio. Ensure the gear is rated for your load and RPM.
