Quite useful too - I used the 20t gear in my (very simple) calipers which are now on the web: (URL) Those 4-stud-long gear rack thingies have 10 teeth each, and I wanted to get close to one increment on the rotation sensor per stud of (...)

The rotation sensor presents very little friction torque, so I imagine (...) (25 years ago, 1-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics)

With the two new sizes you end up with five different ratios that can be constructed with two gears at a 2-stud (16 millimeter) axle spacing: 8 <-> 24 1:3 ratio 12 <-> 20 1:1.4 ratio 16 <-> 16 1:1 ratio 20 <-> 12 1.4:1 ratio (...)
