The product is a 17 teeth, 48 diametral pitch (D.P.), 20¬8 pressure angle steel pinion wire stock, measuring 3 feet in length. It is designed for applications where spur gears are required but stock gears are not available. The pinion wire is made from drawn steel, which undergoes a process that involves melting and alloying metals, followed by lubrication and shaping through dies. The ends of the pinion wire are unfinished, and the overall length tolerance is ¬±0.5 inches. This product is suitable for engineers looking to create custom spur gears in their projects.
The material of pinion wire is dragged through the dies; it is referred to as "drawn" steel, a process that begins with melting several metals together, typically iron plus an additional metal type that is a crucial part of the alloy (smelting). After being slightly cooled, the metal is then coated with a drawing lubricant and pulled through the dies, which form its teeth. The metal cannot be dragged through the dies that shape it without this lubrication.
When a stock gear is not available, spur gears can be made using SDP/SI pinion wires. Available in the following pitches: 64, 48, 44, 32, and 24 (modules 0.4, 0.5, and 0.8) in steel and brass. Other lengths are available upon request.
Steel spur gear stock is also offered in pitches 48, 32, 24, and 20 (modules 0.8 and 1) and is used to make spur gears.
