Description:
A 48T gear is a gear or spur gear with 48 teeth distributed around its circumference. It is used in mechanical power transmission to mesh with other gears and change gear ratios for speed and torque control. These gears are common in robotics, RC vehicles, industrial mechanisms, DIY projects, and gearboxes.
General Features:
📏 Number of Teeth: 48 (48T)
⚙️ Type: Typically a spur gear
🔩 Application: Works within a gear train to change gear ratios
🛠️ Suitable for: Robotics, drivetrain systems, RC gearboxes, hobby projects, machinery
Typical Technical Parameters:
🛠️ Pitch / Module: e.g., 48P (48 pitch), module 1.0 or 0.8 — defines tooth spacing
🧱 Material: Plastic (POM/Delrin), metal (steel/aluminum), or other depending on model
📐 Pitch Diameter: Defines size based on pitch/module and number of teeth
📍 Bore Size: Shaft hole diameter, commonly 5 mm, 6 mm, or may require machining
Benefits & Usage:
✔ Helps adjust gear ratios in power transmission systems
✔ Suitable as a mid-sized gear for various applications
✔ Can mesh with smaller pinions to achieve different gear reductions
✔ Used in robotics, machinery gear trains, and RC drivetrains
Typical Applications:
Gear reduction systems in small robots
RC vehicle gearboxes as intermediate or driven gears
Transmission components in small mechanical systems
Hobby and educational projects involving gear trains
