Xray Narrow Hard Coated Pinion gears

Xray Narrow Hard Coated Pinion gears

Xray release new narrow high-performance pinion gear manufactured from special lightweight aircraft duraluminum. They are 1.5mm thinner and 25% lighter than the regular-size pinion gear and come in 48 pitch (12-34T) and 64 pitch (18-38T). These new narrow pinions are manufactured by Xray on a specially-modified precision gear machine which has ultra-precise tolerances and assures unparalleled concentricity. After machining, the narrow pinions have all their edges chamfered and then are run-in. The pinions are then specially treated to give them an even hard coating so they stay absolute true for a long time.
