Spur gear module 2 z=60 with hub hardened

Product Description

Spur gear module 2, z=60, with hub, hardened

The module 2 spur gear z=60 with hub is a precision gear transmission component designed to transmit high torques at a constant ratio. The teeth are induction hardened to 45-55 HRC, which significantly increases wear resistance and extends gear service life in heavily loaded transmissions.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

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.

What lubrication is optimal for open module (rack) gear drives?

For open systems (gear + gear rack), it is best to use thick greases with added graphite or copper, which adhere firmly to the teeth and are not flung off by centrifugal force. In very dusty applications, dry Teflon lubricants perform better.

How do you cut a keyway in a module gear with a small hub?

In gears with a small hub, the keyway is slotted with great care so as not to weaken the wall above the tooth. If there is not enough space, we recommend dispensing with a standard key (feather key) in favour of mounting with clamping bushes (locking assemblies).

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.

Where is this product used?

Used in industrial machine drives, gate and industrial door automation and as a spare part for existing module gear drives - you only need to keep the same module and pressure angle.

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.
