250-28 PINION GEAR

Product Description

DAM Quick Pinion Gear – Part Number 250-28

Restore Precision: Genuine Pinion Gear for DAM Quick 240 Standard

Bring the smooth, powerful operation back to your vintage German classic with this genuine DAM Quick 250-28 Pinion Gear. As the critical interface between your handle’s drive gear and the spinning rotor, the pinion gear is the heart of your reel's retrieval speed and smoothness.

Designed specifically for the DAM Quick 240 Standard, this gear is precision-cut to mesh perfectly with the main drive gear. Over time, the teeth on the pinion can suffer from wear, resulting in a rough "gear feel," noise, or slipping under the load of a heavy fish. Replacing a worn pinion is essential to eliminating gear lash and restoring the tight, mechanical integrity that the Standard series is known for.

Key Features & Specifications

• Part Number: 250-28

• Part Type: Pinion Gear

• Material: High-strength alloy designed for durability and wear resistance.

• Design: Helical-cut teeth for quiet operation and efficient power transfer.

• Function: Transfers rotational energy from the main gear to the rotor assembly while stabilizing the main shaft.

Model Compatibility

This part is the correct factory replacement for the following model:

• DAM Quick 240 Standard

Note: The "Standard" series differs internally from the "Finessa" (110-550) and "N-Series" reels. Please ensure your reel housing is marked as a Model 240 (often referred to as the Standard version) before ordering.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

Replacing the pinion gear requires disassembling the rotor and gearbox. It is a great opportunity to clean and re-lubricate the entire drivetrain.

1. Schematic Reference: The pinion assembly often involves specific bearings or bushings and spacing washers. Please consult the DAM Quick 240 PDF schematic at www.reelschematic.com to ensure you reinstall the retaining nut and washers in the correct order.

2. Lubrication: The pinion gear requires two types of lubrication for maximum performance:

   • We Recommend: Deuthlon Reel Grease for the gear teeth. Apply a light coating to ensure smooth meshing with the drive gear and protection against oxidation.

   • We Recommend: Deuthlon Reel Oil for the inner bore where the main shaft passes through, and for the outer surface where it contacts the bushing/bearing. This ensures frictionless rotation and prevents the "sluggish" feel on retrieval.

Why Choose This Part?

• Factory Precision: Ensures correct gear ratio and alignment for the 240 Standard.

• Silent Operation: Reduces the noise and vibration caused by worn or chipped gear teeth.

• Reliability: Replaces the most high-stress component in the drivetrain, extending the life of your vintage reel.
