Spur Gear

What is spur gear ?

Spur gears are one of the most popular types of precision cylindrical gears. These gears feature a simple design of straight, parallel teeth positioned around the circumference of a cylinder body with a central bore that fits over a shaft.

Where to use ?

Spur gears are used to transfer motion and power from one shaft to another in a mechanical setup. This transference can alter machinery’s operating speed, multiply torque, and allow for the fine-tuned control of positioning systems. Their design makes them suitable for lower speed operations or operational environments with a higher noise tolerance.

Some of the typicalindustrial applications include:

• Transmissions
• Conveyor systems
• Speed reducers
• Engines and mechanical transportation systems
• Gear pumps and motors
• Machining tools
