Spur gear module 2 z=27 with hub

Product Description

Spur gear module 2, z=27, with hub

The spur gear module 2 shown, 27 teeth, with hub, is a basic component of module drives - it meshes with any other gear or gear rack (toothed rack) of the same module and pressure angle 20°. 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 a module gear be secured against sliding along the shaft?

Besides a key or a clamping bush, set screws (locking screws) in the hub, thrust washers or retaining rings are also used - the choice depends on whether the transmission operates under variable axial load.

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.

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.

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.
