What is pinions?

Pinions are small gears that are used in a wide variety of industrial and mechanical applications. They typically have a small number of teeth compared to larger gears and are used to transfer power between two interlocking gears, or to control or adjust the movement of a larger gear. Pinions are commonly found in various types of machinery, including automobiles, power tools, and industrial equipment. They are typically made from high-quality metals such as brass, steel, or aluminum, and are designed to withstand high levels of torque and stress. Depending on their intended use, pinions may be ground, polished, or coated to improve their performance and increase their longevity. They come in various shapes and sizes, depending on their specific applications, and are typically manufactured using precision machining techniques to ensure their accuracy and reliability.
