Facit 1740 Typewriter Ribbon Gear Set

The Facit 1740 Typewriter Ribbon Gear Set is one of the primary drive components responsible for ribbon movement in the Facit 1740 manual typewriter. During every keystroke, the ribbon feed mechanism advances a feed pawl which engages this gear, causing it to rotate and drive the ribbon spool forward. This synchronized movement ensures fresh ribbon is positioned between the type slug and paper, producing clean and consistent character impressions while preventing repeated strikes on the same ribbon section.

Over years of regular typing, the ribbon gear can become worn, chipped, or damaged, resulting in improper ribbon advancement, skipped feeding, uneven ink transfer, or complete ribbon movement failure. Replacing the ribbon gear set restores dependable ribbon operation and helps maintain smooth mechanical performance. Suitable for manual typewriter repair, servicing, restoration, and preventive maintenance, this original Facit 1740 component is carefully inspected before dispatch by RR Typewriter Mart to support collectors, restorers, technicians, and everyday typing enthusiasts.
