48-Pitch 16T Motor Pinion

The Yokomo YOKPG4816 is a compact, super-hard precision pinion made for 48 pitch setups with a 16-tooth count. It serves as a direct replacement for applications that require a hardened 16T pinion, prioritizing tooth strength and manufacturing accuracy over cosmetic finish.

Compatibility and role: designed specifically for 48 pitch gear trains, this pinion functions as the motor pinion that sets the gear ratio and meshes with the spur gear. A precisely cut pinion helps keep mesh consistency, smooth engagement, and predictable gearing behavior during setup.

Installation notes: confirm the pinion fits your motor shaft diameter and keying before installation, inspect the mesh visually after mounting, and tighten the set screw to the torque recommended by your motor or chassis instructions to prevent slippage. Small mesh adjustments can reduce noise or premature wear; re-check after a short run to ensure nothing has loosened.

Tuning role: fitting this 16T pinion changes the final drive ratio and can be used to trade acceleration for top speed depending on spur size and motor characteristics. Because this item emphasizes precision, it is suitable where consistent engagement and low backlash are priorities in setup work.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Will this pinion work with non-48 pitch spurs?

No. The YOKPG4816 is manufactured for 48 pitch tooth spacing and should be paired only with 48 pitch spur gears to ensure correct mesh and avoid accelerated wear.

What effect does a 16T pinion have on gearing?

A 16-tooth pinion increases the overall gear ratio relative to smaller pinions, generally giving higher top speed at the expense of some low-end acceleration; final behavior depends on your spur gear teeth and motor spec.

Any practical tips for securing the pinion?

Fit the pinion fully on the shaft, check alignment, then tighten the set screw to the recommended torque. After a brief run, re-check tightness and mesh and correct if you detect movement or unusual noise.
