The Multiquip 20472-002 Main Gear is a genuine OEM component designed for MS18H5.5, MS18H8, and MS18E masonry saws. As a direct OEM replacement, this gear is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring proper mesh, torque transfer, and blade drive performance across all three models. Sourced directly through authorized Multiquip supply channels, the part is the correct part for restoring full cutting capacity to your saw. DHS Equipment stocks this part to keep your MS18 series masonry saw running at full strength.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Gear Integrity — Manufactured to exact tooth profile and material specifications, ensuring consistent mesh engagement and power transfer through the drive train.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting configuration and gear dimensions of the MS18H5.5, MS18H8, and MS18E for a straightforward swap during service.
- Broad MS18 Series Compatibility — A single part number covers the MS18H5.5, MS18H8, and MS18E masonry saw models, simplifying parts sourcing across your fleet.
- Sustained Blade Drive Performance — A correctly functioning main gear delivers smooth, consistent power to the blade; a worn or damaged gear causes blade speed loss, vibration, and accelerated drivetrain wear.
- Operational Safety Relevance — A compromised main gear can lead to erratic blade behavior during masonry cuts; replacing it with a genuine OEM part restores predictable, controlled blade operation.
The main gear is a core drivetrain component in the MS18 series masonry saw, responsible for transmitting engine or motor power to the blade spindle. It works within the gear assembly to regulate blade speed and maintain consistent cutting torque through stone, brick, and block material. When the main gear wears, chips, or fails, the saw loses cutting efficiency, produces abnormal noise, and can place dangerous stress on surrounding drivetrain components — making timely replacement with the correct OEM part essential.
