20T 8mm Metal Bevel Gear — Right Angle Drive for DIY Robots, RC & Model Builds

When your project demands a reliable 90° power transfer and off-the-shelf gears just don't fit, you need a bevel gear that's dimensionally consistent and tough enough to handle repeated load cycles. These 20-tooth metal bevel gears are designed for makers, robotics enthusiasts, RC builders, and mechanical model hobbyists who need precise right-angle drive transmission without custom machining.

Each set contains 2 pieces of 20T (20-tooth) bevel gears with an 8mm bore diameter, manufactured to Modulus 1 (M1) specification. The gears are machined from metal (typically steel or zinc alloy, depending on variant) with a tooth profile optimized for smooth meshing at 90°. Overall gear outer diameter is typically 22–24mm (~0.87–0.94 in), with a face width of approximately 8–12mm (~0.31–0.47 in).

Typical use cases include DIY robotic arm joints requiring right-angle torque redirection, RC car differential and steering assemblies, and mechanical scale model transmissions where compact 90° drives are essential for authentic motion replication.

⚙️ Compatibility: Fits 8mm shafts. Designed for Modulus 1 (M1) gear systems. Meshes with matching M1 20T bevel gears for 1:1 right-angle drive. Verify shaft diameter and module before ordering.

✅ Key Features of These Metal Bevel Gears

🔩 20-Tooth M1 Profile — Modulus 1 tooth geometry ensures accurate meshing with standard M1 bevel gear counterparts, delivering smooth and consistent right-angle torque transfer.
📐 8mm Bore Diameter — Precision-bored 8mm shaft hole fits common DIY motor shafts and drive rods used in robotics and RC applications without modification.
⚙️ 90° Right Angle Drive — Bevel gear geometry enables efficient power transmission at a true 90° angle, ideal for changing drive direction in compact mechanical assemblies.
🛡️ Metal Construction — Machined metal build (steel or zinc alloy depending on variant) provides durability and wear resistance under repeated load cycles compared to plastic alternatives.
📦 Sold as a Matched Pair — Each order includes 2 gears pre-matched for M1 20T bevel meshing, so you receive a complete right-angle drive pair ready to install.
🔧 DIY & Model Friendly — Compact dimensions and standard M1 spec make these gears compatible with a wide range of hobby CNC, 3D-printed chassis, and mechanical model kits.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What shaft size do these bevel gears fit?

These gears have an 8mm bore diameter, designed to fit standard 8mm round shafts. If your motor or drive shaft is a different diameter, you will need a bushing or a different bore size variant. Always measure your shaft before ordering.

Can I use just one gear, or do I need both pieces?

For a functional 90° right-angle drive, you need a matched pair — one gear on each shaft. This listing includes 2 pieces, giving you a complete bevel gear set. Both gears are 20T M1, so they mesh together at a 1:1 ratio.

Are these gears compatible with other Modulus 1 bevel gears?

Yes. These gears follow the standard Modulus 1 (M1) tooth profile, which means they will mesh correctly with any other M1 20T bevel gear of the same pressure angle (20°). Always confirm the module and tooth count match before mixing gear brands.

How strong are these metal bevel gears for robotics use?

Metal bevel gears offer significantly better load capacity and wear resistance than plastic equivalents. They are well-suited for light-to-medium duty robotics, RC drivetrains, and model mechanisms. For heavy industrial torque loads, consult the specific material variant and verify torque ratings against your application requirements.

Do these gears resist corrosion?

Corrosion resistance depends on the material variant. Steel gears may benefit from a light coating of machine oil for long-term storage or outdoor use. Zinc alloy variants offer moderate natural corrosion resistance. For high-humidity or wet environments, periodic lubrication is recommended.

What is the difference between Modulus 1 and other gear modules?

The module (M) defines the tooth size — M1 means 1mm per tooth pitch diameter unit. M1 gears have smaller, finer teeth compared to M2 or M3. They are ideal for compact, low-to-medium torque applications like hobby robotics and scale models. Gears of different modules cannot mesh together.

Can I use these in a 3D-printed chassis or frame?

Yes. The compact M1 20T bevel gear dimensions make them a popular choice for 3D-printed robot frames and mechanical model kits. Ensure your printed gear housing is designed for an 8mm shaft bore and allows proper gear mesh clearance for smooth operation.
