Spur gear module 6 z=16 with hub

Product Description

Spur gear module 6, z=16, with hub

The spur gear module 6 shown, 16 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 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.

Why is precise machining of module gears crucial for drive service life?

A precisely cut tooth involute guarantees that the gears roll on each other without micro-impacts or slippage. This reduces friction lowers the operating temperature and dramatically extends the service life of the entire gearbox.

How do you mount a module gear using clamping rings?

These rings are slid between the plain shaft and the plain bore of the gear. When the screws are tightened, the ring expands and locks the gear with a force many times greater than a traditional key. This is the ideal solution for module gears operating with changing direction of rotation (no backlash at the key).

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.

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.
