ZF 4642.252.057 SPUR GEAR for WG150 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4642.252.057 SPUR GEAR is a critical power transmission component engineered specifically for the WG 150 series transmission. This OEM genuine part functions as a precision-machined gear that transfers rotational force between parallel shafts within the gear train, ensuring smooth torque delivery and reliable load distribution under heavy-duty industrial conditions. The SKU 4642.252.057 is designed to maintain exacting tolerances, reducing vibration and noise while extending the operational life of the transmission assembly. It sits within the intermediate shaft cluster, directly meshing with adjacent gears to facilitate efficient power flow from the input to the output shaft.

Symptoms of Failure

When the ZF 4642.252.057 spur gear begins to wear, operators may notice distinct performance issues. Gear slipping under load is a common symptom, often accompanied by a sudden loss of torque during acceleration or uphill operation. Metallic grinding noises emanating from the transmission housing indicate tooth surface fatigue or pitting. Increased operating temperature due to friction from worn gear teeth can lead to premature fluid degradation. Vibration during gear engagement at specific RPM ranges suggests uneven tooth wear or backlash issues, which can escalate into catastrophic failure if ignored.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This spur gear is primarily designed for the ZF WG 150 series transmission, but it also fits select variants within the broader WG family. Compatible models include the WG 150, WG 180, and WG 200 series, provided the gear cluster configuration matches. Always verify the tooth count and shaft spacing against your transmission’s service manual before installation. The part integrates directly with the 4642101114: TRANSMISSION HOUSING and the 4642301213: TRANSMISSION HOUSING, which enclose the gear train. Proper alignment is ensured using the 0631311009: GROOVED STUD for precise positioning, while the 0730365125: TYPE PLATE provides essential identification for the assembly.
