Gear / Clutch Component — This gear or clutch transmits drive through the paper path or fuser. A single cracked tooth produces a periodic noise and a feed fault that looks electrical.
This paper feed clutch gear controls the timing of paper pickup during printing. It fixes paper skew, mis-feeds, and incorrect print positioning. Precision-molded gear teeth for smooth engagement. Compatible with Epson L-series inkjet printers.
For Epson L3118 Paper Feed Clutch Gear fits Epson L3118, L3153, L1118, L3119 and 4 more listed below. Not suitable for: Noise originating from a worn bearing rather than the gear itself. Match the part number to your machine before ordering.

If your machine is not listed, send us the model and a photo of the original part — parts that look alike within the same family are frequently not interchangeable.
| Symptom | Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Grinding or clicking on a regular cycle | A tooth is chipped or the bore is worn |
| Feed or fuser drive stops intermittently | Clutch is slipping |
| Visible cracked or missing tooth | Replace before it damages the mating gear |
| Drive runs but nothing moves | Clutch spring has failed |
Inspect the mating gear before fitting — a damaged partner will destroy the new part. Do not lubricate POM gears unless the service manual calls for it.
Q: Single gear or a set?
A: Sets are stocked for common drive trains and are the safer order when one gear has already failed.
Q: What is the MOQ?
A: 500 pcs per part number.
Q: Can you tool a new one?
A: Yes — send a drawing or sample. New tooling takes 30–45 days.

Inspect the mating gear first. A cracked tooth usually damages its partner, and fitting one new gear into a worn pair just moves the failure. Where a set exists, order the set.
Most often a worn shaft or bush letting the gear run off-axis. Check the shaft for play before fitting another gear.
