Spur gear module 6 z=40 plate wheel

Product Description

Spur gear module 6, z=40, plate wheel

The module 6 gear shown, 40 teeth, plate wheel, is a basic element of module drives - it works with any other gear or gear rack (toothed rack) of the same module and pressure angle 20°. The base material is C45E structural steel (EN 10083-1) - a proven choice for gear transmission parts operating in European industry.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

In which applications do helical module gears perform well?

Helical teeth ensure smoother engagement, which drastically reduces noise and vibration at high rotational speeds. They are used in precision speed reducers and machine tools, bearing in mind, however, the need to use thrust bearings (absorbing axial forces).

Can a module gear be ordered with a number of teeth outside the standard catalogue range?

Yes, in addition to ready stock we also produce CNC gears to order with a non-standard number of teeth, and for short lead times we additionally print them using 3D technology from glass-fibre-reinforced plastics.

Where is this product used?

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

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.
