Technical Overview

The GPM MTG4816T is a precision hard steel 48 pitch, 16 tooth motor gear manufactured to maintain accurate tooth geometry under operational loads. Its 3.175mm bore and 0.5mm tooth spacing are specified to match standard motor shafts while preserving consistent gear mesh and torque transmission.

Technical Details

  • Material: Hard Steel selected for fatigue and wear resistance
  • Pitch: 48P for fine tooth engagement and compatibility with matching spurs
  • Teeth: 16T providing a measured balance of torque and rotational speed
  • Hole Diameter: 3.175mm sized for common shaft standards
  • Tooth Distance: 0.5mm ensuring consistent contact pattern

Recommended as a durable replacement or upgrade where consistent mesh and extended service life are priorities in demanding hobby use.

What inspection routine should be used for pinion life monitoring?

Periodically check tooth flank condition, measure bore runout, and verify set screw seating. Replace if tooth faces exhibit plastic deformation or the bore shows loosening.

How does tooth pitch affect drivetrain tuning?

A 48P pitch provides finer tooth engagement for improved contact with matching spurs, which helps reduce stress concentrations and supports smoother torque transfer at high rpm.

Are there recommended fit checks after installation?

After installation, rotate the drivetrain by hand to confirm even contact, check set screw torque, and run a short break-in period to stabilise the gear interface.
