Spur gear module 1 z=54 with hub

Product Description

Spur gear module 1, z=54, with hub

The spur gear module 1 shown, 54 teeth, with hub, is a basic component of module drives - it meshes with any other gear or gear rack (toothed rack) of the same module and pressure angle 20°. The base material is C45E structural steel (EN 10083-1) - a proven choice for gear transmission parts operating in European industry.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How can wear of the gears in a module gearbox be diagnosed?

Wear is easiest to spot from a change in the tooth profile - it becomes sharp at the tip, and the backlash increases dramatically, which shows up as loud knocking when the machine changes its direction of rotation.

What is the difference between a gear with hub (PM) and a plate wheel (CM), and when should you choose which?

The hub extends the part axially and makes mounting on the shaft easier (more room for a key or a clamping ring), while the plate wheel is flat and lighter - it is chosen when the design already has its own bearing arrangement/mounting and the gear only has to transmit the meshing.

How do you calculate the ratio of a gear pair of two module gears with different numbers of teeth?

The ratio is calculated as the quotient of the number of teeth of the driven gear to that of the driving gear (i = Z2/Z1); the module must be identical for both gears, otherwise meshing will not work at all.

How should gears be stored correctly before installation?

Preferably in a dry room, protected against moisture and dust, with a light layer of preservative oil on the teeth and bore - especially important for C45E carbon steel, which can start to corrode without protection.

Where is this product used?

Module gears of this type are used in speed reducers, machine gearboxes, CNC machine tools and in rack drives of sliding and entrance gates.

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.
