Spur gear module 4 z=20 with hub hardened

Product Description

Spur gear module 4, z=20, with hub, hardened

This module 4 spur gear (20 teeth, with hub) is used wherever reliable, maintenance-free power transmission via involute gearing is required. The tooth surface is induction hardened (45-55 HRC), so the gear better withstands high cyclic loads and operation in harsh industrial conditions.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

How do you calculate the outside diameter from the number of teeth and the module?

It is very simple maths, often used by maintenance departments. The formula is: Dz = m * (Z + 2). For example, for a gear with module 3 and 20 teeth, the outside diameter will be: 3 * (20 + 2) = 66 mm.

Why is precise machining of module gears crucial for drive service life?

A precisely cut tooth involute guarantees that the gears roll on each other without micro-impacts or slippage. This reduces friction lowers the operating temperature and dramatically extends the service life of the entire gearbox.

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.
