Bit of a shot in the dark but.......
I'm looking for some small pinions for a one off project and it occurs
to me that the planet gears from a S-A hub gearbox might just be around
the right size.
I has got to be 40 years since I took one of these apart so my memory is
a little faded but I think there are 4 pinions around 3/4" diameter
Can anyone who might just have some of they in their junk box please
tell me the general dimensions?
Bore, face width, no of teeth and overall diameter are what I need to
assess suitability.
TIA

If you've a defunct electric screwdriver, the gearbox in them
is also epicyclic with sun-and-planet gears.

All my drills and drivers are still working but I suspect the gears
might be quite a bit smaller than 5/8 - 3/4" diameter given the body
diameter of typical drivers. If I come across a dead one I'll have look
and see.

Bob:
There's one in bits on the bench at work, one of my sons is playing around with
some old bike bits he is clearing out.
I'll have a look in the morning, at the same time as I am looking for Tim's
Makrolon!

Measured with a ruler, so approximate:
O/D 11/16" (over the tips of the teeth)
I/D 1/4"
width 5/16"
20 teeth

Sounds like 32DP then which matches the hobs I saw at the SA auction.

If that's right, I've got an old hosed S-A 3-speed hub that I took off a
rescue bike, which you're welcome to strip down for any bits you can use.
