Hi all:
I am looking into re-engineering an existing pan/tilt camera device, since I am using it for an “off label” purpose. My plan is to replace the DC motors and associated gearbox with steppers.
I am attaching the information from the mfr (ProAm USA) on the two gears being used. The diagrams list teeth, module, various diameters and shaft size, but the few manufacturers I have been able to find online want to know pitch and pressure angle.
I need to get a gear similar to the small 14 tooth one, to work with the existing 95 tooth one. The bore is TBD depending upon what stepper motor I find.
What I really need from those more experienced than me (translate to everybody) is to identify the necessary specs from the small gear in the diagrams so that I can find a similar one for the stepper motor.
That information is exactly the description of the gears you want. If a manufacturer will not tell you if their gear matches, find another distributor. Otherwise the gears will be noisy and will wear rapidly.
Chances are the gears were made by a company just for your project and were not off-the-shelf gears.
