Spur gear module 2.5 z=90 plate wheel

Product Description

Spur gear module 2.5, z=90, plate wheel

This module 2.5 gear (90 teeth, plate wheel) is used wherever reliable, maintenance-free power transmission through involute meshing is required. 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

What should I do if I need a non-standard module that is not currently in the standard range?

If time is short and you need a specific size, we offer professional 3D printing from modern glass-fibre-reinforced materials. It is an outstanding, durable solution for an urgently needed spare part, for prototyping or for gears with lower loads, allowing you to restore continuity of operation very quickly.

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.

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.

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.

Where is this product used?

It performs well in power transmission systems in machine tools, production lines and sliding gates, where it works together with a gear rack of the same module.

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.
