Product details and intended use

The MG522T/0.5M pinion is a 22-tooth, 48-pitch gear made from 45 steel, specified with a 0.5mm module and a 5mm motor tooth diameter. It is designed for electric hobby models that require a 48-pitch pinion and a 5mm shaft interface.

This pinion transfers torque from the motor into the drivetrain and establishes the initial gearing step. With 22 teeth it shifts gearing toward stronger acceleration relative to larger pinions, and the 45 steel construction helps resist wear from repeated mesh cycles.

Basic installation guidance—confirm pitch and module match the spur gear, ensure the 5mm shaft seats properly, and secure the pinion with suitable fastening hardware. Set mesh carefully, check backlash, and re-check after a short run to account for seating and settling.

Fit and tuning considerations—verify numeric compatibility (pitch, module, tooth count, shaft diameter) when selecting this pinion. Use it as a tuning component to adjust overall gear ratios and vehicle response rather than as a chassis-specific replacement.

Is this pinion suitable for motors with a 5mm output shaft?

Yes, the pinion is specified for a 5mm motor tooth diameter. Confirm the shaft is true and free from damage before installation and use the motor supplier's recommended fastening method to secure the pinion.

What should I check to achieve a reliable gear mesh?

Match pitch and module on spur and pinion, set a consistent contact pattern across tooth faces, and tighten hardware incrementally while verifying alignment. Reassess after a short run-in period to ensure no movement has occurred.

How can I prolong the service life of this pinion?

Maintain correct mesh, avoid overtightening bearings, inspect regularly for wear, and apply a small amount of gear-appropriate lubricant if needed to reduce noise and friction. Replace the pinion if teeth show significant wear to protect mating gears.
