Spur gear module 2 z=72 plate wheel

Product Description

Spur gear module 2, z=72, plate wheel

The module 2 gear shown, 72 teeth, plate wheel, is a basic element of module drives - it works with any other gear or gear rack (toothed rack) of the same module and pressure angle 20°. Made of C45E steel (UNI/EN 10083-1), which ensures high mechanical strength and wear resistance during prolonged operation under load.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How do you choose a gear rack to match a specific module gear?

The principle is the same as when selecting two gears - the rack must have the same module as the drive gear. Remember to choose the right rack width, which should be equal to or slightly wider than the face width of the gear, in order to transmit the full torque.

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.

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.

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?

Module gears of this type are used in speed reducers, machine gearboxes, CNC machine tools and in rack drives of sliding and entrance gates.

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.
