Spur gear module 1.5 z=42 with hub hardened

Product Description

Spur gear module 1.5, z=42, with hub, hardened

The module 1.5 spur gear z=42 with hub is a precision gear transmission component designed to transmit high torques at a constant ratio. The tooth surface is induction hardened (45-55 HRC), so the gear better withstands high cyclic loads and operation in harsh industrial conditions.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How do you cut a keyway in a module gear with a small hub?

In gears with a small hub, the keyway is slotted with great care so as not to weaken the wall above the tooth. If there is not enough space, we recommend dispensing with a standard key (feather key) in favour of mounting with clamping bushes (locking assemblies).

How does manufacturing gears on CNC machine tools eliminate gearbox noise?

Old casting methods or milling on worn machines produce irregularities in the order of tenths of a millimetre. Our CNC machining ensures a perfect tooth profile. The gears roll on each other smoothly, which results in a dramatic drop in decibels on the production floor.

What does the pressure angle mean in module gears and why is it usually 20°?

The pressure angle defines the inclination of the tooth flank. In European industry the standard is 20°, because it provides the optimal balance between tooth root strength and quiet gearbox operation. This avoids the phenomenon known as tooth undercutting on smaller gears.

What does it mean when the gear "skips" teeth under load?

Most often it is a sign that the transmitted torque exceeds the tooth strength for the given module, or that the backlash is too large - in both cases continued operation leads to the teeth breaking off quickly.

Where is this product used?

Typical applications include conveyor drives, packaging machines, industrial automation and positioning systems using a gear and gear rack pair.

When placing your order, please check the current stock level of this gear - the lead time depends on it and is clearly stated according to the quantity available in the given warehouse.
