Plastic Spur Gear Set, 4-Piece, 12T, 20T, 30T and 40T, Assorted Colors

This color-coded plastic spur gear assortment supports hands-on construction of light-duty meshed gear mechanisms for educational models, hobby assemblies, and small motorized projects. Different tooth counts allow users to connect compatible shafts, axles, or project supports and observe how motion is transferred between rotating components.

Gear Dimensions

Gear Color Number of Teeth Approx. Outside Diameter Approx. Center Bore Approx. Thickness
T40 Red 40 41.5 mm 3.2 mm 5.7 mm
T30 Yellow 30 31.3 mm 3.2 mm 5.7 mm
T20 Blue 20 21.3 mm 3.2 mm 6.7 mm
T12 Green 12 13.5 mm 1.9 mm 6.7 mm

Caution:

Dimensions are approximate. Verify shaft diameter and fit before permanent installation. The T12 gear has a smaller center bore than the T20, T30, and T40 gears. These gears are not designed for automotive, industrial, or high-load applications.
