Spur gear module 6 z=40 plate wheel hardened

Product Description

Spur gear module 6, z=40, plate wheel, hardened

The module 6 gear z=40 plate wheel is a precision gear transmission component designed to transmit high torques at a constant ratio. The tooth surface is induction hardened (45-55 HRC), so the gear better withstands high cyclic loads and operation in harsh industrial conditions.

Technical data

Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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).

Does a higher number of teeth (z) with the same module mean a stronger gear?

Not directly - tooth strength depends mainly on the module and face width, not on the number of teeth; a larger z with the same module simply gives a larger gear diameter and a higher ratio relative to the mating gear.

Where is this product used?

Used in industrial machine drives, gate and industrial door automation and as a spare part for existing module gear drives - you only need to keep the same module and pressure angle.

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.
