Characteristics
Parallel Design: Teeth are straight and aligned parallel to the center shaft, meaning they only work on parallel axes.
High Efficiency: Offers up to 97% to 99% efficiency per mesh because they produce minimal sliding friction and zero axial thrust load.
Cost-Effective: Simple geometry makes them easy and affordable to manufacture compared to helical or bevel alternatives.
Application field
Spur gears are widely used to multiply torque, increase or decrease speed, and transfer motion between parallel shafts. Key applications include household appliances like washing machines, industrial machinery, and power generation equipment.
