Spur gear module 2.5 z=31 with hub hardened

Product Description

Spur gear module 2.5, z=31, with hub, hardened

This module 2.5 spur gear (31 teeth, with hub) is used wherever reliable, maintenance-free power transmission via involute gearing is required. 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

Are the gear wheels for sliding gates also module gears?

Yes, the classic gate drive gear is a module gear working with a gear rack fixed to the gate leaf. This is usually module 4 (m=4), and for intensive commercial use precision-machined components are chosen that run quietly and without jamming.

How do you set the correct centre distance between two module gears?

The centre distance is the sum of the pitch diameters of both gears divided by two (a = (Dp1+Dp2)/2); too small a distance causes seizing, and too large a distance - excessive backlash and loss of quiet running.

What is backlash and why does it matter?

It is a small gap between mating teeth, necessary for lubrication and thermal tolerance; too little backlash leads to seizing and overheating, while too much leads to jerking and faster tooth wear.

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.
