Spur gear module 5 z=40 plate wheel

Product Description

Spur gear module 5, z=40, plate wheel

The module 5 gear shown, 40 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

How does manufacturing gears on CNC machine tools eliminate gearbox noise?

Old casting methods or milling on worn machines produce irregularities in the order of tenths of a millimetre. Our CNC machining ensures a perfect tooth profile. The gears roll on each other smoothly, which results in a dramatic drop in decibels on the production floor.

What is backlash and why does it matter?

It is a small gap between mating teeth, necessary for lubrication and thermal tolerance; too little backlash leads to seizing and overheating, while too much leads to jerking and faster tooth wear.

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.

Does the tooth shape of a module gear affect smooth running?

Yes, the ideal involute profile achieved through precise machining ensures uniform power transmission. This prevents jerking that could lead to teeth breaking off under load.

Where is this product used?

It performs well in power transmission systems in machine tools, production lines and sliding gates, where it works together with a gear rack of the same module.

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.
