I think if you made it from ali it'd get chewed up quicker than a pepparoni pizza at a weightwatchers meeting. There's a lot of force
going through the little spur gear. I think some heavy duty steel would be required (unless you only ever want to use it a couple of times of pass
scrutineering).

i had thought of making a steel ring gear and shrinking it on to an ali body....
it is for scrutineering ....

Bicycle chainwheels are made of aluminium and last for ages with decent levels of force.
Not an answer, more of a comment.

I would say steel or it would be another possible fail point.
The ring gear idea sounds good, but dissimilar metals is just asking for trouble (catalitic corrosion).
