Yokomo YOKPG4826 Ultra-Hard 26T Pinion for 48 Pitch Systems  [YOKPG4826]

Engineered 48-Pitch 26T Pinion

This is a 48 pitch, 26-tooth pinion gear from Yokomo manufactured as a motor pinion for RC use to enable precise gear ratio selection. The ultra-hard material is intended to improve wear resistance versus softer options and to help the gear hold its profile through repeated hobby electric RC operation.

Use this pinion where a 48 pitch pinion is required by the motor and spur gear combination. It is intended only for RC motor output shafts and gearbox gearsets that accept 48 pitch pinions; do not use it with incompatible pitch systems.

Installation and tuning tips:

• Check shaft fit and keying before tightening, ensure the pinion seats fully on the motor shaft to avoid axial play.
• Set gear mesh carefully using standard methods: correct clearance avoids premature tooth wear while preventing binding under load.
• When changing tooth count, remember each tooth increment alters the overall gear ratio, trading top speed for acceleration or vice versa depending on direction of change.
• Inspect the mating spur gear for wear and compatibility with 48 pitch teeth to preserve smooth operation.
