When your motion-control build demands a quiet, corrosion-resistant drive component, metal gears often introduce unnecessary weight, noise, and cost. Hobbyists, robotics engineers, and maker-space professionals who need a reliable plastic pinion gear will find this 1 Mod 60-tooth blue nylon spur gear an ideal drop-in solution for low-to-medium torque applications.
Each gear is machined from engineering-grade blue nylon (PA66 equivalent), offering a good balance of rigidity and self-lubrication. The module is 1M with 60 teeth, giving an outside diameter of approximately 62 mm (2.44 in). The stepped center bore is available in sizes from 6 mm to 20 mm (0.24 in – 0.79 in), allowing direct shaft mounting without additional adapters. Face width is typically 10–12 mm (0.39–0.47 in).
Typical use cases include: 3D printer extruder and axis drives requiring a low-noise 1 mod plastic spur gear, lightweight robotic arm joints where a 60-tooth nylon pinion gear reduces inertia, and DIY automation rigs or CNC pen plotters that benefit from a corrosion-resistant plastic gear with step bore.
Made from PA66-equivalent nylon for reliable strength, self-lubrication, and reduced operating noise compared to metal gears.
Module 1, 60-tooth involute tooth form ensures smooth meshing with any standard 1M mating gear or rack — no custom tooling needed.
The stepped center bore accommodates shaft diameters from 6 mm to 20 mm (0.24–0.79 in), providing a secure, wobble-free fit on common motor and drive shafts.
Nylon construction keeps the gear significantly lighter than steel equivalents, reducing rotational inertia and motor load in speed-sensitive applications.
Nylon is inherently resistant to moisture, mild chemicals, and oxidation — suitable for indoor automation, food-adjacent machinery, and humid environments.
The plastic-on-plastic or plastic-on-metal mesh dampens vibration and reduces gear noise, making this pinion ideal for desktop robots, plotters, and precision feeders.

Measure your motor or drive shaft diameter with a caliper. Select the bore option that matches exactly — for example, a 6 mm shaft requires the 6 mm bore variant. The step bore design provides a snug fit; no additional bushing is needed for standard shaft sizes listed.
This 1M 60T nylon gear is suited for low-to-medium torque applications. Nylon gears typically handle lighter loads than steel but excel in noise-sensitive or weight-critical builds. For high-torque industrial drives, a metal gear would be more appropriate.
Yes. Engineering-grade nylon is inherently resistant to moisture, mild acids, and oxidation. It performs well in humid indoor environments, light-duty food-adjacent machinery, and applications where metal gears would corrode over time.
Yes. This gear follows the standard Module 1 involute tooth profile with a 20° pressure angle, making it fully compatible with any standard 1M spur gear, pinion, or rack regardless of material. Confirm the mating gear is also Module 1 before ordering.
Nylon is self-lubricating under normal operating conditions, so no grease is required for most applications. In high-speed or continuous-duty scenarios, a light application of PTFE-based dry lubricant can extend service life without attracting dust.
Absolutely. This 1 Mod 60-tooth nylon spur gear is a popular choice for 3D printer axis drives, extruder assemblies, and lightweight CNC pen plotters. Its low noise, corrosion resistance, and standard 1M profile make it a direct fit for many open-source printer and CNC designs.
Each unit contains 1 piece (1 PCS). If you need multiple gears, simply increase the quantity at checkout.
