Spur gear module 6 z=12 with hub

Product Description

Spur gear module 6, z=12, with hub

The spur gear module 6 shown, 12 teeth, with hub, is a basic component of module drives - it meshes 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 can you recognise a manufacturing defect in a gear when receiving the goods?

It is worth checking the radial runout (the gear should not "wobble" on the shaft), the uniformity of the pitch between teeth and the smoothness of the tooth surface - visible burrs, dents or uneven pitch are a signal to file a complaint.

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.

Does a module gear require constant lubrication?

Enclosed gears (in speed reducers) run in oil or grease, while open systems (gear + rack) require periodic manual lubrication - without it, friction and tooth wear increase many times faster.

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.

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.
