Spur gear module 1 z=70 plate wheel

Product Description

Spur gear module 1, z=70, plate wheel

The module 1 gear with z=70 teeth (plate wheel) is a versatile module component, matched in its parameters to the entire family of gears and gear racks of the same module. Made of C45E steel (UNI/EN 10083-1), which ensures high mechanical strength and wear resistance during prolonged operation under load.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Do straight-tooth module gears have a specific mounting direction?

No, a straight-tooth gear is symmetrical and can be mounted either way round; direction only matters with helical teeth, where the helix angle must match the mating gear.

What lubrication is optimal for open module (rack) gear drives?

For open systems (gear + gear rack), it is best to use thick greases with added graphite or copper, which adhere firmly to the teeth and are not flung off by centrifugal force. In very dusty applications, dry Teflon lubricants perform better.

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.

Can a module gear be painted or lacquered?

Yes, the external surfaces (sides, circumference) can be protected with lacquer, but the teeth and the mounting bore should remain clean, because the coating would change their actual dimensions and disrupt meshing with the other gear.

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.
