Boston Gear Y2448 Bronze Spur Gear With 3/8 Inch Bore And 48 Teeth

Boston Gear Y2448 Bronze Spur Gear, 48 teeth, 24 diametral pitch, and 20-degree pressure angle, features a 3/8 in bore for direct shaft mounting. This bronze spur gear is designed to transmit motion between parallel shafts in compact gear trains, with a pitch diameter of 2.0 inches derived from 48 teeth at 24 DP. Bronze construction provides good wear resistance and machinability, making it suitable for light-to-moderate load applications in automation components, conveyors, small machines, and gear-driven assemblies where smooth, quiet operation is valued. The Y2448 family is a Boston Gear brass/bronze spur gear line that pairs with other gears of the same DP and PA to achieve reliable power transmission; ensure correct meshing by matching gear pitch and angle to your mating gear. Typical uses include small automation equipment, hobbyist CNC, and equipment requiring corrosion resistance and easy machining. Always verify bore compatibility with your shaft and check that the mating gear set shares the same Diametral Pitch (DP) and Pressure Angle (PA) to maintain proper center distance and tooth engagement.
