Spur gear module 5 z=52 plate wheel

Product Description

Spur gear module 5, z=52, plate wheel

The module 5 gear with z=52 teeth (plate wheel) is a versatile module component, matched in its parameters to the entire family of gears and gear racks of the same module. The gear is made of C45E steel (EN 10083-1); the involute tooth profile and 20° pressure angle ensure smooth, quiet meshing with gears or racks of the same module.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

Can module gears be bored out for non-standard shafts?

Yes, most module gears are supplied with a pilot bore, which allows them to be freely bored out, keyway-slotted and precisely fitted to the specific shaft size at the customer's premises.

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 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 do you calculate the ratio of a gear pair of two module gears with different numbers of teeth?

The ratio is calculated as the quotient of the number of teeth of the driven gear to that of the driving gear (i = Z2/Z1); the module must be identical for both gears, otherwise meshing will not work at all.

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.
