Detailed Product Description

Spur gears are the simplest form of Gears available. They are also the most commonly used gears in the market. They are found generally in the form of a cylinder or disk. Thes gears are applied for varying the force and speed of a rotating axle. They have a straight teeth. They are usually mounted on parallel shafts. These days mostly the tooth form is based on the involute curve. For creating large gear reductions, many spur gears are used together.

However, these gears can mesh correctly only if they get fitted to parallel axles. That is the reason why their teeth are cut in a manner, for making the leading edges remain parallel to the line of axis of rotation. Not withstanding the basic limitation of center distance, spur gears are able to provide a constant and positive speed drive. The speed can be varied by increasing or decreasing the teeth number in the driving gear.
