* 8-32 1/4" Machine Screws: https://amzn.to/2SULXhI
Magnetic gears have some unique advantages/disadvantages over regular gearing.
* Very quiet and low friction since they don't require contact between input/output
* Decoupling between input/output if the torque limit is exceeded
* Generally only used for very low torque applications
