How to identity gear sizes?

Post by VividVisions »

I bought a bunch of 002 gears, I noticed many of the packages are labeled wrong as far as keyed shaft vs spline shaft. So I would like to measure them to make sure they are the correct ratios. How are the gear sets measured? Diameter, tooth count, pitch? Is there a chart? I appreciate any help. Thanks

Are the gears matched pairs?
Count the teeth to figure out the ratio.
Post some pics.

If the gears were separated from their matched mate you'll have to do some measurements.
They all have the same center-to-center so you'll know you have a pair if that's correct.
That, and if they mesh correctly..
