meet all specified criteria.
Design Units
Your choices are...
English English gears use design units such as inches and fractions of inches; they also employ diametral pitch (DP) or circular pitch
(CP) as tooth pitch designations.
Metric Metric gears use metric design units such as millimeters (mm). Their pitch, the metric distance between teeth, is designated
as a module.

Spiral bevel and miter gears have a right or left hand specification, which describes the direction of tooth curve. If they have
Direction spiral teeth, bevel and miter gear sets must have opposite hand specifications to mesh, i.e., a left-hand pinion will drive a
right-hand gear and vice versa. Matching items for sets are listed according to the hand specification of the pinion.
Your choices are...
Right Hand
The screw advances when turned clockwise. This is the most common or "standard" configuration for spiral or helical teeth.
Left Hand
The screw advances when turned counterclockwise. This is an unusual or specialty configuration.

Pressure angle is the angle between the line of force or action and the tangent to the pitch circle at the point of mesh. The
Pressure Angle: most common pressure angles for gears are 14.5° and 20°, while some worms and worm gears utilize a 25° pressure angle.
Gears must have the same pressure angle to mesh.
Your choices are...
14.5°
The gear has a pressure angle of 14.5°.
20°
The gear has a pressure angle of 20°.
25°
The gear has a pressure angle of 25°.
Other PA
Other unlisted pressure angles.

Gear Features
Your choices are...
Anti-backlash Anti-backlash gears have a mechanical assist such as a spring to take up any play between meshing gear teeth, thus
avoiding backlash when gear direction changes.
Ground Teeth
Ground teeth provide smoother, higher-precision tooth form.

Material
Metal:
Your choices are...
Aluminum Aluminum is a bluish, silver-white, malleable, ductile, light, trivalent, metallic element that has good electrical and thermal
conductivity, high reflectivity, and resistance to oxidation. It is lighter than steel, but not as strong.
Brass Brass comes with good strength, excellent high temperature ductility and reasonable cold ductility, good electrical
conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, good bearing properties, and low magnetic permeability.
Bronze Bronze is a copper base alloy that consists of copper as the main alloying metal and one or more other metals, such as tin,
zinc, or phosphorus. Silicon bronze is a typical bronze alloy.
Cast Iron Cast iron is a very durable iron alloy with high amounts of carbon. Types include ductile iron, gray iron and white cast iron
grades. Differences in grades are due to variations in composition and processing.
Carbon / Alloy Steel Steel is a commercial iron that contains carbon in any amount up to about 1.7 percent as an essential alloying constituent.
Many grades of carbon and alloy steel are available. They may require coating to protect against corrosion, however.
Steel may be hardened in a number of ways. These include a variety of quenching techniques in oil and water, passing the
Hardened Steel steel through induction chambers, etc. Quickly cooling steel during processing freezes, traps and packs the carbon atoms
inside the shrunken iron crystals, thereby producing a very hard and brittle metal. Although very hard, it cannot absorb much
shock or impact without breaking.
Stainless Steel Stainless steel is chemical and corrosion resistant and can have relatively high stress ratings. Most stainless steels cannot
be hardened to the same degree as carbon steels.
Other Metal
Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary metals or alloys.

Plastic:
Your choices are...
Acetal
Acetal is a stable plastic material with inherent self-lubricating properties that can be enhanced with lubricating fillers.
Delrin Delrin is an engineered plastic with a good combination of toughness, stiffness, wear and abrasion resistance, and low
frictional characteristics.
Nylon Nylon, comprising several grades of polyamides, is a general-purpose material in wide use. It is tough and resistant and has
good pressure ratings.
Polycarbonate Polycarbonate is an extremely tough polymer that can be machined to close tolerances. Lubrication is sometimes needed,
as the wear properties of polycarbonate are not as good as some other polymers.
Other Plastic
Other unlisted or specialized polymers or plastic materials.

Mounting Features
A hub is a cylindrical projection from one or both sides of the gear, typically for the provision of a shaft attachment
mechanism such as a set screw. Hubless gears are typically attached via a press-fit, adhesive, or an internal keyway.
Your choices are...
Hubless
No mounting hub.
Hub
The hub is an extension of the gear body and allows shaft mounting options.
Keyway
One or more square-edged cutouts are designed to mate with a shaft key.
Set Screw(s)
Screws tighten directly onto a shaft for gear attachment.
Hub Clamping
Screw The gear is attached with a screw that squeezes the inner diameter of the hub to a tight fit around the shaft.
Split (Requires
Clamp) The hub is split into several pieces that are tightened down by a separate clamp to grip the shaft.
Simple Bore
Simple bores are used typically for press-fit or adhesive attachments.
Other
Other unlisted or specialized shaft attachment mechanisms.
