Makers, hobbyists, and small-scale engineers who need a dependable, drop-in spur gear for 2 mm motor shafts will find this Mod 0.5 120-tooth gear a precise, ready-to-run solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis spur gear is machined to Module 0.5 (Mod 0.5) with 120 teeth and a 2 mm bore, sized to fit standard micro-motor shafts directly. The gear body is molded from engineering-grade plastic — typically nylon or POM — offering a balance of low weight, reduced operating noise, and adequate load capacity for light-to-medium duty cycles. Outer diameter is approximately 61 mm (≈ 2.40 in), with a face width typically in the 5–8 mm (0.20–0.31 in) range depending on the variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTypical use cases include RC model car and truck final-drive stages, small robotic joint reduction gearing for 2 mm shaft servo motors, and DIY transmission prototypes where a lightweight plastic spur gear for 2mm shaft keeps inertia low and noise minimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e⚙️\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for 2 mm diameter motor shafts.
