Gentlemen,
I have bought an unfinished project in the form of sheet metal rolls which need a pair of identical gears fitted. I did consider making my own which apart from the cutter I have everything needed but somebody suggested I look in a HPC Gears catalogue first. Having done so I wish to clarify something, the centres between each roller is 48 mm, I have found a pair of gears of PCD 47.98 mm. Is it correct in my think that I can use these.
Regards,
Martin P
Rolls would very likely have special gears with deeper teeth than standard, (my ancient ones certainly have) to allow for varying thicknesses of material. You might get away with just using a fairly 'coarse' standard gear, especially if you will only be working with thin sheet.

If the project is a three roller design where the two driven rollers are fixed and the third roller is the moveable one then the gears should do fine.

OK sent again and on group as well
*********************** Martin, Yes these 18 DP 34 tooth gears will do the job. If you want to get exact then move to metric module gears. A pair similar to the 18-34 would be the YG1.5-32 which are exactly 48mm or the G2-24 which are heavier and a bit cheaper-- Regards,
