Spur gear module 4 z=21 with hub hardened

Product Description

Spur gear module 4, z=21, with hub, hardened

Gear module 4, z=21, with hub - a robust component for building and repairing gear transmissions, reducers and rack drives (gear rack + gear). Made of C45E steel (EN 10083-1) with induction-hardened teeth (45-55 HRC) - a variant intended for the most intensively used drives.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How does a module gear differ from a chain sprocket?

A module gear meshes directly with another gear or gear rack, while a sprocket works with a roller chain - they have a different tooth profile and are not interchangeable, even though they look similar from a distance.

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.

Can module gears be bored out for non-standard shafts?

Yes, most module gears are supplied with a pilot bore, which allows them to be freely bored out, keyway-slotted and precisely fitted to the specific shaft size at the customer's premises.

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.

Where is this product used?

Used in the construction and servicing of gear reducers and gear transmissions for agricultural and construction machinery, and wherever precise and repeatable torque transmission matters.
