Re: 32DP 19T 20PA Pinion Wire

Thanks for the info and trying to find what I am looking for. I checked all the same places with no luck. I have a query in with Grob (www.grobinc.com) and W. M. Berg to see if it is available. Berg doesn't list it in the catalog but they have 18T and 20T and say that other sizes are available (see attachment). I have my fingers crossed.

Burn it locally? Yeah, right. We are in a small town in Mississippi and I bet there aren't more than a handful of people here who even know what EDM is. If I can't find it to order I will have to find some way to order it custom. Would this be FIRST legal? I assume so since any other team could do the same.

I did find the 1/8" face width spur gears at SDP but need something a little wider like 3/8". I am looking for pinion wire because it is usually much cheaper than spur gears and I can make whatever face width I want.

What am I doing? Hmm, it's top secret! Just kidding. I am dinking around with some gearbox design stuff. I am not very far along yet but have some ideas in my head that I want to try. I have everything figured out (in my head anyway) but have run into a snag finding this 32DP 19T 20PA pinion. If it works out I hope to put out a white paper before next season starts.

If anyone finds a source please let me know. I am still looking!

Thanks again,
Chuck
