Boston Gear's
internal gears are spur gears turned "inside out." In
other words, the teeth are cut into the inside diameter
while the outside diameter is kept smooth. This design
allows for the driving pinion to rotate internal to the
gear, which, in turn, allows for clean operation. Intended
for light duty applications, these gears are available
only in brass. When choosing a mating spur gear, always
remember that the difference in the number of teeth between
the internal gear and pinion should not be less than 15
(14 1/2° PA) or 12 (20° PA).
