Spur Gears

What Is a Spur Gear?

Spur gears are the most common gear element in mechanical drive systems that efficiently transmit motion between parallel shafts. These gears feature straight and parallel teeth along the circumference of a cylinder. As their tooth surfaces align parallel to the mounted shafts, they operate without generating axial thrust forces.

In mechanical applications, via the transmission of power from one shaft to another by a series of mated gears. Spur gears find extensive use for speed adjustment, torque multiplication, and power transmission between shafts.

To sum up, spur gears are essential cylindrical gears known for their straightforward yet effective transmission of motion and power between parallel shafts. Their precision design, sizing standards, and versatility make them a cornerstone in various mechanical applications.
