131-7418: Gear-idler

Description: Idler gears can change the direction of rotation of the output shaft or can assist to reduce the size of the input or output gears while maintaining the spacing of the shafts. Attributes: • Material: Steel • Helical Gear Number of Teeth: 45 • Helix Hand: RH • Cat gears are machined from carefully selected materials to exacting specifications that match the loads encountered in Cat machines. They are manufactured using special, and in some cases proprietary, heat treat processes — including case carburizing, nitriding, and induction hardening. Cat gears have the industry's highest power density, or the amount of power a gear can transmit relative to its size and are designed with reusability in mind. Consequently, they are more durable and keep your overall machine operating costs down. Application: Cat gears are built specific to their application to ensure all drive train parts work and wear together as a system. Consult your owner's manual or contact your local Cat Dealer for more information.
