M2 Ground Spur Gear

Product details

Description

Spur gears are cylindrical gears that facilitate motion transmission between parallel shafts. They are easily visualized and widely used. Due to their design, these gears generate no axial thrust force as the tooth surfaces align with the shaft axes. Furthermore, they can be produced with exceptional precision due to the simplicity of their manufacturing process. Typically, when two spur gears mesh, the gear with more teeth is referred to as the "gear," while the one with fewer teeth is called the "pinion." The size of spur gears is commonly denoted in modules according to ISO standards. Presently, a pressure angle of 20 degrees has become the norm. In tooth profile design, commercial machinery often employs a portion of an involute curve.

 

M2 Ground Spur Gear is a basic gear that is relatively easy to understand. It typically consists of cylinders or discs with teeth that stick out in a radial direction. While these teeth are not straight and often have a unique shape to maintain a constant transmission ratio, such as involute (but occasionally cycloidal), the edges of each tooth are still straight and parallel to the axis of rotation.

 

Spur gears, specifically the M2 Ground Spur Gear, are ordinary gears commonly used to transmit motion between two parallel and coplanar gears. These gears have straight and parallel teeth that are positioned around the circumference of the cylinder and are installed on a shaft with a central hole. They are widely popular due to their simple structure and precise design. Spur gears are known for their straight teeth and parallel arrangement, making them efficient at transmitting power and maintaining gear alignment. These gears play a crucial role in various mechanical systems and are favored for their reliability and versatility.

 

Gears in various forms often have hubs that are machined to provide additional thickness around the holes, while keeping the gear surface unchanged. In some cases, you can even drill holes in the central opening of the gear to fit it onto a spline or keyshaft. These gears are referred to as cylindrical gears because of their shape. One advantage of their design is that the tooth surface of the gear runs parallel to the axis of the installation shaft, eliminating any axial thrust that could be generated.

 

External and internal are the two main types of spur gears. The outer gear has its teeth cut on the outer surface of the cylinder, where two external gears mesh with each other and rotate in opposite directions. On the other hand, the inner gear has its teeth cut on the inner surface of the cylinder.

 

Spur gears are widely recognized as a fitting choice for applications that necessitate reduction and amplification of torque, such as crushing equipment and ball mills. Although they typically produce high levels of noise, spur gears also find application in high-speed scenarios like mixers and washing machines found in consumer appliances. Their versatility extends to a wide range of applications, including speed and power manipulation for various objects. Acting as conduits for motion and force transmission between different shafts in mechanical structures, spur gears prove to be ideal components in different machines such as mixers, washing machines, drum clothes dryers, construction machinery, and fuel pumps.

 

Spur gears play a crucial role in the generation of electrical energy from wind or water in power plants. These gears are also commonly used in various industries, such as aircraft engines, bicycles, trains, ball mills, and crushers due to their low noise levels. Their ability to effectively convert energy while minimizing noise makes them a preferred choice in these applications. Whether it's producing renewable energy or powering machinery, spur gears are an essential component that helps facilitate smooth and efficient operation.
