The KPS1.5-20J8 is a plastic spur gear with a module of 1.5 and 20 teeth, designed for precision applications. It is manufactured from MC901 material, which provides a tooth hardness of 115 to 120 HRR. The gear features a standard full depth tooth profile and a pressure angle of 20 degrees. The bore size is 8 mm, and it includes a hub for secure mounting. Engineers should note that plastic gears are sensitive to temperature and moisture, which can lead to dimensional changes. The allowable torque for this gear is calculated based on assumed usage conditions, and it is recommended to use lubrication when pairing with other gears to prevent heat generation. The backlash values provided are theoretical and should be considered during design.
