Properties and general information
• Spur gears from module 0.3 to module 8, with straight teeth and a 20° pressure angle
• Spur gears that have gearing quality 8 are listed in our catalogue with the modules 0.3 / 0.5 / 0.7 / 1 / 1.5 and 2.5
• The spur gears that have gearing quality 8 with modules 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 and 8 are no longer listed in our catalogue; please send us an inquiry
• Affordable spur gears with gearing quality 9 are available in our catalogue with modules 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 2.5 / 3 and 4
• Modules 6 and 8 are available on request
• Materials: unhardened steel, stainless steel, brass, milled plastic, injection moulded plastic, Lauramid® (PA12G) with C45 steel core
• We have racks for modules 0.3 - 6 and round racks for modules 1 - 5
• Materials: unhardened steel, stainless steel, brass, milled plastic, injection moulded plastic
• We offer gear parts that are specially machined according to your drawings, available with heat treatments, surface treatments and in larger modules
Advantages
• Minimal power loss due to low friction between the teeth
• Simple construction; inexpensive
• Multiple stages are possible
• Reversible: Force and speed can be transmitted in both directions
Applications
• Spur gear to spur gear combination: Transmission of rotary movement between parallel axles. By using different numbers of teeth, it is possible to change the turning speed and the torque.
• Spur gear to rack combination: Conversion of rotary motion into linear motion and vice versa
