Spur gear module 4 z=52 plate wheel

Product Description

Spur gear module 4, z=52, plate wheel

This module 4 gear (52 teeth, plate wheel) is used wherever reliable, maintenance-free power transmission through involute meshing is required. The standard material is C45E steel (UNI EN 10083-1), widely used in the construction of gear transmissions, gear racks and module drives.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Does a module gear require constant lubrication?

Enclosed gears (in speed reducers) run in oil or grease, while open systems (gear + rack) require periodic manual lubrication - without it, friction and tooth wear increase many times faster.

How does the operating temperature affect the choice of material for a module gear?

At high temperatures, C45E steel retains its properties much better than plastics, which can soften and lose tooth profile accuracy; in such cases steel (including stainless steel if moisture or steam is also present) is the safer choice.

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 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 industrial machine drives, gate and industrial door automation and as a spare part for existing module gear drives - you only need to keep the same module and pressure angle.

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.
