Spur gear module 6 z=12 with hub hardened

Product Description

Spur gear module 6, z=12, with hub, hardened

This module 6 spur gear (12 teeth, with hub) is used wherever reliable, maintenance-free power transmission via involute gearing is required. The teeth are induction hardened to 45-55 HRC, which significantly increases wear resistance and extends gear service life in heavily loaded transmissions.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

How do you measure a worn tooth to choose the right replacement?

It is best to measure the outside diameter (Dz) and count the teeth (Z), and calculate the module from the formula m = Dz / (Z+2); it is also worth measuring the bore diameter so that the replacement fits the same shaft without additional machining.

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 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.

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.

Where is this product used?

Typical applications include conveyor drives, packaging machines, industrial automation and positioning systems using a gear and gear rack pair.
