Spur gear module 3 z=32 with hub

Product Description

Spur gear module 3, z=32, with hub

The spur gear module 3 with z=32 teeth (with hub) is a universal modular component whose parameters match the entire family of gears and gear racks of the same module. The base material is C45E structural steel (EN 10083-1) - a proven choice for gear transmission parts operating in European industry.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a gear with hub (PM) and a plate wheel (CM), and when should you choose which?

The hub extends the part axially and makes mounting on the shaft easier (more room for a key or a clamping ring), while the plate wheel is flat and lighter - it is chosen when the design already has its own bearing arrangement/mounting and the gear only has to transmit the meshing.

Can a module gear be ordered with a number of teeth outside the standard catalogue range?

Yes, in addition to ready stock we also produce CNC gears to order with a non-standard number of teeth, and for short lead times we additionally print them using 3D technology from glass-fibre-reinforced plastics.

Does a higher number of teeth (z) with the same module mean a stronger gear?

Not directly - tooth strength depends mainly on the module and face width, not on the number of teeth; a larger z with the same module simply gives a larger gear diameter and a higher ratio relative to the mating gear.

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?

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.
