Spur gear module 2 z=15 with hub hardened

Product Description

Spur gear module 2, z=15, with hub, hardened

The spur gear module 2 with z=15 teeth (with hub) is a universal modular component whose parameters match the entire family of gears and gear racks of the same module. 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

Does the tooth shape of a module gear affect smooth running?

Yes, the ideal involute profile achieved through precise machining ensures uniform power transmission. This prevents jerking that could lead to teeth breaking off under load.

How does the operating temperature affect the choice of material for a module gear?

At high temperatures, C45E steel retains its properties much better than plastics, which can soften and lose tooth profile accuracy; in such cases steel (including stainless steel if moisture or steam is also present) is the safer choice.

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 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.

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.
