Enlarged Metric 2.0 Module Gear...

Jideco would not / could not provide gear data.

By reverse engineering, I have convinced myself that it is a metric module 2.0 gear with a 20 degree pressure angle.

It is enlarged, but how much, I don't know.


I had our shop measure a couple of standard gears mating with the pinion as best as we could measure it without an elaborate set up.

That data is the data that FIRST put on the print they published.

The engineer that is using the motor on our mechanism thinks something is goofy about my data, but is not sure exactly which point he distrusts.

I think that for most applications if you just add about .4mm to the theoretical center distance, things will work out just fine.

Probably more information than you wanted, but there it is just the same.
