Spur gear module 5 z=20 with hub

Product Description

Spur gear module 5, z=20, with hub

Gear module 5, z=20, with hub - a robust component for building and repairing gear transmissions, reducers and rack drives (gear rack + gear). The base material is C45E structural steel (EN 10083-1) - a proven choice for gear transmission parts operating in European industry.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

What does the pressure angle mean in module gears and why is it usually 20°?

The pressure angle defines the inclination of the tooth flank. In European industry the standard is 20°, because it provides the optimal balance between tooth root strength and quiet gearbox operation. This avoids the phenomenon known as tooth undercutting on smaller gears.

How do you cut a keyway in a module gear with a small hub?

In gears with a small hub, the keyway is slotted with great care so as not to weaken the wall above the tooth. If there is not enough space, we recommend dispensing with a standard key (feather key) in favour of mounting with clamping bushes (locking assemblies).

Where is this product used?

Typical applications include conveyor drives, packaging machines, industrial automation and positioning systems using a gear and gear rack pair.
