Spur gears are straight-toothed
gears having radial teeth used to transmit power and motion between
parallel axes. These gears are widely used for speed increase or
reduction, high torque, resolution for positioning systems.
These gears can either be mounted on a hub or a shaft. The gears are
available in different size, design, shape and also offer a variety of
features and functions to cater to different industrial requirements.
Materials Used
These gears are constructed using superior quality materials including
- Metal- steel, cast iron, brass, bronze and stainless steel.
- Plastic- acetal, nylon and polycarbonate.
Materials used to manufacture these gears are used keeping in mind
certain factors including design life, power transmission requirements,
noise generation.
