GEARS

The Inventa gears are components made from a strong yet flexible plastic that provides a degree of tolerance to ensure smoothly meshing gear trains. Each gear has the number of teeth marked on it as well as a starting point to allow students to work out gear ratios quickly and easily. Since they come in 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 tooth sizes the gear ratios are simple and sensible.

Designed to be a push fit on 5mm shafts, simply ream out the central hole for a running fit.

The gear profile enables you to use them as bevel gears and they can also be used as pinions.

ADAPTORS

The Inventa system includes 5 different types of adaptor - straight, side, parallel, end and cross.
