Yokomo YOKPG4816 48 Pitch 16T Precision Pinion  [YOKPG4816]

16T Pinion Gear — 48 Pitch

The Yokomo YOKPG4816 is a precision 16T pinion produced for 48 pitch systems, featuring a hardened tooth profile to enhance durability. It is intended as a motor pinion replacement where accurate tooth geometry and wear resistance are required.

Compatibility and role: made for 48 pitch spurs and components, this pinion sets the motor-to-spur gear ratio and establishes the tooth mesh. Using a tightly manufactured pinion supports consistent engagement and reduced backlash for predictable drivetrain response.

Installation notes: verify shaft diameter and keyway compatibility, set mesh with caution to allow correct tooth contact, and secure the set screw to the advised torque. After a brief low-load run, re-check the mesh and fastener tightness to ensure reliable operation.

Tuning role: installing this 16T pinion alters the drive ratio and can be used to adjust acceleration versus top speed depending on spur selection and motor behavior. Its focus on precision makes it suitable for setups that demand repeatable gear engagement and minimized play.
