Re: Aluminum Gears
You want to be careful with Aluminum gears. You would probably want to use 7075 or 2024 aluminum, and hard anodize, or preferably titanium anodize the gears. From what we were told in the past, tiodizing creates a hardened surface without increasing the parts dimensions (as hard anodizing does). Just something to take note of, as we have been looking into the same thing.
