Spur gear module 1 z=90 plate wheel

Product Description

Spur gear module 1, z=90, plate wheel

Gear module 1, z=90, plate wheel - a robust component for building and repairing gear transmissions, gear reducers and rack drives (rack + gear). The gear is made of C45E steel (EN 10083-1); the involute tooth profile and 20° pressure angle ensure smooth, quiet meshing with gears or racks of the same module.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Does a higher number of teeth (z) with the same module mean a stronger gear?

Not directly - tooth strength depends mainly on the module and face width, not on the number of teeth; a larger z with the same module simply gives a larger gear diameter and a higher ratio relative to the mating gear.

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.

How does a module gear differ from a chain sprocket?

A module gear meshes directly with another gear or gear rack, while a sprocket works with a roller chain - they have a different tooth profile and are not interchangeable, even though they look similar from a distance.

How can you check whether two module gears will mesh with each other?

There is one absolute condition: both gears must have exactly the same module (e.g. m=2) and the same pressure angle (standard 20°). If the modules differ by even a fraction of a millimetre, the teeth will start to shear and the gearbox will be destroyed.

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.
