Description
Ares Mechanical Harden Steel Gear with Magnet (MHG-013)
This is an Ares hardened steel gear with a magnet, part code MHG-013. As the name says, it is made from hardened steel and carries a built-in magnet. Gears with magnets are used in gearboxes whose electronics read the position of the gear, so they are an important part in electronically controlled AEGs.
Ares is a Hong Kong manufacturer known for its EFCS electronic gearboxes and well-engineered internal parts. Buying the correct Ares part code is the most reliable way to keep an Ares replica running as designed after a gear failure.
Why the magnet matters
In many electronic trigger systems, a sensor detects a magnet on one of the gears to know where the gear is in its cycle. That information can be used to stop the piston in the right place, give accurate semi-auto and burst fire, and protect the gearbox. A replacement gear without the magnet, or with the magnet in the wrong place, may not work correctly with that kind of system.
Hardened steel gears resist wear and stripping better than softer gears, which matters in rifles that see regular use or run stronger springs.
Which gear is it
Our listing does not say whether MHG-013 is a spur, bevel or sector gear, or which gear ratio it suits. Please compare the product photos with the gear you are replacing, or send us your replica’s model and gearbox details so we can confirm before you order.
Key features

- Original Ares part
Compatibility
Intended for Ares gearboxes that use magnet-equipped gears. Check the gear type, ratio and magnet position against your existing gear, and confirm with us before ordering if you are unsure. Gears should be shimmed correctly when fitted.
Care and maintenance
Fit gears with correct shimming and a light coat of suitable gear grease, without packing the gearbox with too much. Keep grease away from the magnet and any sensors, as a build-up can affect the electronics.
Have the gearbox checked if you hear grinding or notice a change in rate of fire, as a worn gear can damage the others.
Who is it for?
Owners of Ares electronic gearbox replicas repairing or servicing their rifle, and technicians who need the correct magnet-equipped Ares gear.
Please note: Single gear; other gears and the gearbox are not included. Professional fitting is recommended.
