The WC5855 26/37 Fixing Drive Gear is a component used in the Xerox WorkCentre 5855 multifunction printer, specifically within the fuser assembly. This gear is crucial in the operation of the fuser unit, which is responsible for bonding toner to paper through heat and pressure during the printing process. Features: Material: The gear is typically made of high-quality plastic or metal depending on the model and design, ensuring durability to withstand the mechanical stresses and heat associated with the fuser unit. Size: Identified by the dimensions 26/37, which likely correspond to the number of teeth or its size, allowing it to mesh properly with other gears in the fuser system to drive the rollers efficiently. Functionality: The Fixing Drive Gear transmits rotational motion to the fuser rollers, which apply the heat and pressure required to fuse toner onto the paper. It works in conjunction with other gears within the fuser assembly.
