Spur gear module 6 z=16 with hub hardened

Product Description

Spur gear module 6, z=16, with hub, hardened

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 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

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 set the correct centre distance between two module gears?

The centre distance is the sum of the pitch diameters of both gears divided by two (a = (Dp1+Dp2)/2); too small a distance causes seizing, and too large a distance - excessive backlash and loss of quiet running.

What does the pressure angle mean in module gears and why is it usually 20°?

The pressure angle defines the inclination of the tooth flank. In European industry the standard is 20°, because it provides the optimal balance between tooth root strength and quiet gearbox operation. This avoids the phenomenon known as tooth undercutting on smaller gears.

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.

Where is this product used?

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