Spur gear module 3 z=57 plate wheel

Product Description

Spur gear module 3, z=57, plate wheel

This module 3 gear (57 teeth, plate wheel) is used wherever reliable, maintenance-free power transmission through involute meshing is required. 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

How can you check whether two module gears will mesh with each other?

There is one absolute condition: both gears must have exactly the same module (e.g. m=2) and the same pressure angle (standard 20°). If the modules differ by even a fraction of a millimetre, the teeth will start to shear and the gearbox will be destroyed.

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.

Are the gear wheels for sliding gates also module gears?

Yes, the classic gate drive gear is a module gear working with a gear rack fixed to the gate leaf. This is usually module 4 (m=4), and for intensive commercial use precision-machined components are chosen that run quietly and without jamming.

How do you set the correct centre distance between two module gears?

The centre distance is the sum of the pitch diameters of both gears divided by two (a = (Dp1+Dp2)/2); too small a distance causes seizing, and too large a distance - excessive backlash and loss of quiet running.

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.
