Steel Spur Gear Plastic-type Spur Gear
Overview
Spur gears play a vital role in power transmission systems, and steel spur gears and plastic-type spur gears are the two primary types of spur gears used in various industries. Steel spur gears come in 20 through 2 Diametral Pitch – 14 1/2° pressure angle stocked, while plastic-type spur gears are made-to-order in various other circular, metric, or D. P. sizes in 14 1/2°, 20°, or various other pressure angles. They are made from different materials, including metal, nylon, phenolic, bronze, cast iron, or other components, and can be up to 96″ in diameter. Internal gears and surface external profiles can be provided subject to equipment limitations. Both types of spur gears are suitable for many types of transmission systems and can be customized according to customers’ drawings, samples, and specifications.
History of Spur Gears
The history of gears can be traced back to ancient China and Greece. However, it was not until the Industrial Revolution that spur gears became widely used in industrial power transmission systems. Today, spur gears are still one of the most commonly used types of gears in various industries.
Categorization of Spur Gears
Spur gears can be categorized based on their pressure angle, diametral pitch, number of teeth, material, and other factors. For example, pressure angle can be 14.5 degrees or 20 degrees. Diametral pitch can range from 2 to 64. The number of teeth can vary from a few to several hundred. The material used can be metal, plastic, or other materials depending on the application.
