Spur gear module 3 z=31 with hub

Product Description

Spur gear module 3, z=31, with hub

This module 3 spur gear (31 teeth, with hub) is used wherever reliable, maintenance-free power transmission via involute gearing is required. The standard material is C45E steel (UNI EN 10083-1), widely used in the construction of gear transmissions, gear racks and module drives.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

What is the module of a gear and how do you measure it correctly?

The module (m) is the basic parameter defining tooth size, i.e. the ratio of the pitch diameter to the number of teeth. The simplest way to measure it in workshop conditions is to measure the outside diameter of the gear (Dz), count the teeth (Z) and use the formula: m = Dz / (Z + 2).

How should gears be stored correctly before installation?

Preferably in a dry room, protected against moisture and dust, with a light layer of preservative oil on the teeth and bore - especially important for C45E carbon steel, which can start to corrode without protection.

How can you recognise a manufacturing defect in a gear when receiving the goods?

It is worth checking the radial runout (the gear should not "wobble" on the shaft), the uniformity of the pitch between teeth and the smoothness of the tooth surface - visible burrs, dents or uneven pitch are a signal to file a complaint.

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.
