2-1/2in Pinion (10 Tooth

The SWEET 2-1/2in Pinion with 10 Tooth is a precision rack and pinion component engineered for applications requiring reliable linear-to-rotational motion conversion. This steel pinion gear serves as the driven component in rack-and-pinion assemblies, commonly found in steering systems, actuators, and mechanical drive mechanisms across automotive, industrial automation, and equipment manufacturing sectors. Its compact 2.5-inch pitch diameter makes it ideal for space-constrained installations where efficient torque transfer and consistent engagement are critical performance requirements.

Constructed from durable steel, this 10-tooth pinion is designed to mesh seamlessly with compatible rack assemblies, delivering smooth rotational output while minimizing backlash and wear. The tooth profile is engineered to handle moderate to high load applications, with the steel construction providing excellent fatigue resistance and longevity under repetitive cycling. At 0.8 pounds and measuring 2.1 x 2.1 x 6.1 inches, the compact dimensions allow integration into tightly packaged mechanical systems without compromising load capacity or operational precision. The pinion's geometry ensures predictable gear ratios and repeatable performance across thousands of cycles.

This component is ideal for engineers and technicians rebuilding or upgrading existing rack-and-pinion assemblies, steering mechanisms, or custom automation equipment. Compatibility depends on your existing rack tooth pitch and module specifications—verify that your rack matches the 2-1/2 inch pitch diameter before purchase to ensure proper mesh and alignment. The SWEET 2-1/2in Pinion (10 Tooth) is a direct replacement or upgrade component suitable for applications demanding OEM-equivalent quality at competitive pricing. Proper installation with appropriate bearing support and lubrication will maximize service life and operational efficiency.
