High-quality aluminium pinion for precise gear engagement

The Serpent SER120180 pinion is aimed at hobbyists who value accurate gear meshing and straightforward installation. Constructed from hard aluminium, it offers a reliable balance of strength and low mass for everyday use.

62-tooth 48-pitch construction for efficient power transfer

The 48-pitch, 62-tooth specification helps maintain consistent contact between pinion and spur, which reduces noise and wear while delivering efficient torque flow through the drivetrain.

Installation guidance and compatibility notes

This pinion is compatible with most 48-pitch setups; always confirm shaft diameter and set screw compatibility when fitting. The aluminium body assists with heat dispersion during longer sessions.

Will Serpent SER120180 work with my spur gear?

If your spur is 48-pitch and the motor shaft accepts the pinion's mounting method, it will mesh correctly. Check the tooth count and ensure the mesh is set to a light contact.

Any tips for reducing gear noise after fitting?

Start with correct mesh using a paper shim, tighten motor mount evenly, and run the drivetrain at low speed to observe contact. Minor adjustments to motor position usually cure most noise issues.

How often should I inspect the pinion on a race car?

Check the pinion after each race day for chips or wear, and inspect mesh after any impact. Regular checks protect the spur and other drivetrain components from secondary damage.
