Spur gears, also known as spur gears or spur gears, are one of the common and basic gear types in mechanical transmission. The tooth shape of spur teeth is linear and arranged along the circumferential direction of the gear. This simple design makes spur teeth efficient, stable, and easy to manufacture.
The tooth surface of straight teeth usually adopts an involute tooth profile. This tooth profile makes the contact stress distribution of the gear more even during the meshing process, which is beneficial for reducing wear and noise. In addition, spur gears have higher transmission efficiency because they can maintain a constant transmission ratio when meshing, thus ensuring the accuracy and stability of power transmission.
Straight teeth are relatively simple to manufacture and can be processed by a variety of processes including cutting, grinding, or casting. This makes straight teeth widely used in industrial production. Whether it is small equipment or large machinery, straight teeth can be seen.
In practical applications, spur teeth are often used for transmission between parallel shafts, such as reducers, transmissions, pumps, fans, and other equipment. In this equipment, spur teeth can effectively transmit power and realize conversion of speed and torque to meet the needs of different working conditions.
As a basic and important transmission element, spur teeth play a vital role in the field of mechanical transmission. Due to its high efficiency, stability, and ease of manufacturing, straight teeth have been widely used in various mechanical equipment, providing a strong guarantee for the smooth progress of industrial production.
