Compatibility and fit guide

The MG316T/0.5M motor gear is produced to match micro motor pinion standards, supplying 16 teeth at a 0.5mm module and a 3.175mm motor tooth diameter commonly used in small-scale model geartrains.

Forged from 40Cr steel and given a hardened black surface treatment, the gear is intended to deliver enhanced wear resistance and consistent mesh characteristics. The motor bore is round and the component is secured using two set screws (3x3) which provide axial retention on suitable motor shafts.

Confirm motor shaft diameter, module, and tooth count against this pinion and your spur gear prior to fitting to ensure correct mesh and acceptable backlash. The part is suitable for replacement or fine tuning of gear engagement in RC-scale motors that match the specified dimensions.

Will this pinion fit keyed shafts or only round shafts?

This pinion has a round bore and is intended for round motor shafts. It is not designed for keyed shafts unless you modify the bore, which is not recommended as it may compromise fit and balance.

Which tools are recommended for secure installation?

Use a quality hex driver sized for 3x3 set screws and a torque-aware approach: tighten until secure but avoid excessive force that could strip threads or damage the shaft. Check mesh and re-tighten after a short run.
