Spur gear module 5 z=38 plate wheel

Product Description

Spur gear module 5, z=38, plate wheel

The module 5 gear shown, 38 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°. 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

How do you choose the gear material (C45E steel, stainless steel or plastic) for specific operating conditions?

C45E steel is a universal choice for most industrial drives, stainless steel performs well in humid or aggressive environments, and plastics are used for lower loads or when quiet running and lubrication-free operation matter.

What is the module of a gear and how do you measure it correctly?

The module (m) is the basic parameter defining tooth size, i.e. the ratio of the pitch diameter to the number of teeth. The simplest way to measure it in workshop conditions is to measure the outside diameter of the gear (Dz), count the teeth (Z) and use the formula: m = Dz / (Z + 2).

How do you choose a gear rack to match a specific module gear?

The principle is the same as when selecting two gears - the rack must have the same module as the drive gear. Remember to choose the right rack width, which should be equal to or slightly wider than the face width of the gear, in order to transmit the full torque.

Can gears with different modules be combined in one gearbox?

Absolutely not. Teeth of different modules differ in size and pitch. Any attempt to mesh them will end in the drive jamming or the teeth breaking off immediately on the first revolution of the shaft.

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.
