WCP 10 & 20DP Steel Spur Gears – Lightweight Motor Gears

WCP Steel Spur Gear — High-Performance 20DP Pinion for Robotics & Automation

WCP Steel Spur Gears are engineered for competitive robotics, mobile robotics, and mobile automation systems requiring compact and efficient drivetrain solutions. Constructed from 7075-T6 aluminum and 4140 steel, these gears are optimized to reduce weight and rotational inertia in demanding gearbox applications.

A Teflon-infused ceramic coating minimizes friction at the motor stage, improving overall drivetrain efficiency and durability—critical for FRC drivetrains and mobile robotic platforms.

These 10DP and 20DP pinions provide compact gear reduction equivalent to 32DP gears, making them ideal for FRC motors or any compatible shaft-based system. Each gear includes mounting hardware and features a 14.5° pressure angle for smooth, consistent operation under load.
