Spur gear module 4 z=60 plate wheel

Product Description

Spur gear module 4, z=60, plate wheel

The module 4 gear shown, 60 teeth, plate wheel, is a basic element of module drives - it works with any other gear or gear rack (toothed rack) of the same module and pressure angle 20°. Made of C45E steel (UNI/EN 10083-1), which ensures high mechanical strength and wear resistance during prolonged operation under load.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

What does it mean when the gear "skips" teeth under load?

Most often it is a sign that the transmitted torque exceeds the tooth strength for the given module, or that the backlash is too large - in both cases continued operation leads to the teeth breaking off quickly.

What is profile shift and when is it used?

It is a slight shift of the tooth profile relative to the standard profile, used mainly with a very small number of teeth to avoid undercutting the tooth root; in typical stock applications it is not required.

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 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.

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.
