Re: Matching a Gear to Keyed Shaft of DC Motor

i personally would use a set screw as deepwater suggested (just make sure the screw doesn't come loose...). but, if you don't want to do that, here's a post from Dr. Joe about attaching gears to the output of the globe motor, which has a similar output shaft:
