20 Degree Pressure Angle

The gear on that motor is a 20 Degree Pressure Angle gear.

The gear is 12 Tooth, 16 Diametral Pitch, Stub, 20 Degree Pressure Angle,

The gear is a "Stub" tooth gear, but it can mate okay with a full depth gear if you increase the center distance a bit from the theoretical number. Another option is to put shave the OD of the standard gear by .4"/DP, which in this case is .4/20 or .020"

If you are making your own gear, then of course, just make the gear a stub gear to begin with -- (.8/DP for the addendum, 1/DP for the dedendum).

Good Luck.
