Product snapshot for gearing and tuning

The MG522T/0.5M pinion is a 22-tooth, 48-pitch component manufactured from 45 steel with a 0.5mm module and a 5mm motor tooth diameter. It is intended for hobby electric models that require a 48-pitch pinion mating to a corresponding spur and a 5mm shaft interface.

As the initial gearing element, this pinion affects acceleration and top speed depending on tooth count. A 22T pinion leans toward quicker initial acceleration compared with larger pinions. The 45 steel composition balances hardness and toughness for hobby-level durability under repeated engagement.

Fitment tips—confirm the pinion’s 48-pitch and 0.5mm module match your spur, ensure the 5mm shaft seats correctly, and secure with the recommended fastening approach. Set mesh carefully and re-check after a short run-in to allow parts to settle. Apply minimal gear-friendly lubricant if aiming to reduce noise.

Compatibility notes—match numeric gear characteristics rather than chassis labels when checking fit. Use the pinion as a tuning element to refine drivetrain ratios for specific performance goals.

A 22-tooth pinion reduces overall gear ratio compared with larger pinions, typically improving acceleration at the expense of top-end speed. Use it when quicker throttle response is a priority over maximum velocity.
Select fewer teeth for more acceleration or more teeth for higher top speed. Balance drivetrain stress and motor RPM limits when changing tooth count, and test progressively to find the best compromise for your setup.
Yes. Altering the pinion tooth count may require resetting mesh, checking motor temperature under load, and possibly reprogramming electronic limits or selecting a different spur to maintain optimal gear engagement.
