Spur gear module 4 z=48 plate wheel

Product Description

Spur gear module 4, z=48, plate wheel

The module 4 gear with z=48 teeth (plate wheel) is a versatile module component, matched in its parameters to the entire family of gears and gear racks of the same module. The gear is made of C45E steel (EN 10083-1); the involute tooth profile and 20° pressure angle ensure smooth, quiet meshing with gears or racks of the same module.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate the ratio of a gear pair of two module gears with different numbers of teeth?

The ratio is calculated as the quotient of the number of teeth of the driven gear to that of the driving gear (i = Z2/Z1); the module must be identical for both gears, otherwise meshing will not work at all.

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.

Are module gears from different manufacturers with the same module interchangeable?

The meshing geometry (module, pressure angle) is standardised, so such gears will mesh with each other, but bore or hub dimensions may differ between manufacturers - when replacing, it is worth checking this before installation.

Why is the pilot bore in a module gear often smaller than required?

A "rough" bore allows you to bore it out yourself to the exact, non-standard size of the customer's shaft - a ready-made large bore from stock would rarely match the required size perfectly.

Where is this product used?

Module gears of this type are used in speed reducers, machine gearboxes, CNC machine tools and in rack drives of sliding and entrance gates.

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.
