Spur gear module 5 z=55 plate wheel

Product Description

Spur gear module 5, z=55, plate wheel

This module 5 gear (55 teeth, plate wheel) is used wherever reliable, maintenance-free power transmission through involute meshing is required. 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

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.

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.

How do you calculate the outside diameter from the number of teeth and the module?

It is very simple maths, often used by maintenance departments. The formula is: Dz = m * (Z + 2). For example, for a gear with module 3 and 20 teeth, the outside diameter will be: 3 * (20 + 2) = 66 mm.

How does a module gear differ from a chain sprocket?

A module gear meshes directly with another gear or gear rack, while a sprocket works with a roller chain - they have a different tooth profile and are not interchangeable, even though they look similar from a distance.

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.
