Learn how to identify and replace combo, spur, and handle gears for Pepetools rolling mills. Get practical advice on choosing the right replacement part.
Quick answer
Choose a combo gear for universal fit across Pepetools models, a spur gear set for manual mill operation, or a handle gear for the handle assembly. Each serves a distinct mechanical role.
Why gear type matters for your mill
Rolling mill gears transfer torque from the handle to the rollers. Using the wrong gear can cause slippage, uneven rolling, or damage to the gear train. Each Pepetools gear is designed for a specific position in the drive system.
The combo gear works with both electric and manual Pepetools mills, making it a versatile spare. Spur gears are paired and sold in sets of two, designed only for manual models. The handle gear attaches directly to the handle mechanism, not the roller shaft.
Compatibility limits to know
The combo gear fits all Pepetools models 187.00A through 190.30A, but it is a single replacement gear. If your mill uses a dual-gear system, you may need two. The spur gear set explicitly covers 90MM (187), 110MM (188), and 130/160MM (189/190) manual mills, but the catalog does not confirm fit for electric models. The handle gear is listed as a genuine replacement for manual Pepetools mills, but specific model numbers are not supplied.
When ordering, match your mill's model number to the gear's listed compatibility. If you are unsure, the combo gear offers the widest coverage.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I know which gear I need?
- Check your mill's model number. For manual mills, identify whether the worn gear is on the handle shaft (handle gear) or the roller shaft (spur gear). The combo gear works as a universal spare for most Pepetools models.
- Can I use a spur gear on an electric mill?
- The spur gear is listed for manual mills only. The catalog does not confirm compatibility with electric models. For electric mills, use the combo gear instead. Stick with the combo gear for electric models.
- Do I need to replace gears in pairs?
- The spur gear is sold as a set of two because manual mills use two spur gears in the drive train. The combo gear and handle gear are sold individually. Replace only the damaged gear unless the catalog specifies otherwise. Order the spur gear set if you need both gears; single gears for other types.
- What if my mill model isn't listed?
- The combo gear covers the widest range (187.00A–190.30A). If your model falls outside that range, contact Pepetools support for compatibility confirmation. Verify with support before ordering for non-listed models.
