Ammco Shear Gear and C-Clip (907996)

Description

The Ammco Shear Gear and C-Clip (907996) is a vital protective component for your Ammco brake lathe. Engineered as a “fail-safe” mechanism, this genuine Ammco part is specifically designed to safeguard the delicate cross-feed gearbox from potential damage caused by operator error, particularly during rotor machining operations. Its role is to act as a sacrificial mechanical fuse, breaking itself to prevent more extensive and costly repairs to the lathe’s internal components. This ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your valuable Ammco equipment. Compatible with a range of popular Ammco models, including the 4000, 4100, and 7500 series, this shear gear and C-clip combination is an indispensable replacement part for maintaining optimal lathe function and preventing downtime. Keeping a spare on hand is a recommended practice to ensure continuous operation and minimize interruptions in your workshop.
