Thanks for responding Brian.
We will be using Ford CVT fluid used in the Ford 500 CVT auto

transmission.

Our machine tolerances are +/- .0002.
The gear box will be aluminum fluid cooled to a max of 200 F.

Max RPM will be about 12,000. What bearings do you recommend?

To: Paul

In regard to your inquiry, we wish to advise as follows:

Our stock ground spur gear MSGB1-50 lists for $118.23 each. We currently
have 6 pieces in stock.

This gear is designed for use up to 1800 rpm. However, under precise
operating constraints, we have had customer use these gears in

applications

up to 18,000 rpm.

In order to achieve these speeds, the proper lubricant must be used, the
shaft alignments must be exact and the correct bearings must be used.

Regards,
Brian Dengel
Product Manager

What RPM would MSGB150 gear be limited to?

Cost for 4

thanks

Paul,
I tried the web address you provided for these gear people but it failed
twice, so I figure something wrong with the address.
Do you have an e-mail address for them?
George ( down under)

It is on the web site. You have to use their form and send them email.

The web address is www.qtcgears.com

BTW I am not using their gears. The box is designed in the
inches system and metric gears would cause havoc.
Far more off the shelf parts are available in the US in
inches rather than mm.
