Spur Gearwheels are one of the most common types of gears, typically used to transmit rotary motion and force. They have parallel axes, and their teeth are straight and aligned with the axis.

Here is the technical information for spur gearwheels in English:
Spur Gearwheels: Technical Data
1. Definition:
Spur gears are cylindrical gearwheels with teeth that are parallel to the axis of rotation. They are the most commonly used gears in mechanical systems, designed to transfer motion and torque between parallel shafts.
2. Characteristics:

• Tooth Shape: The teeth of spur gears are straight and align parallel to the axis of the gearwheel.
• Operation: Spur gears mesh with each other in a simple and direct manner, transferring rotary motion from one gear to another.
• Efficiency: They are highly efficient for transmitting power due to their direct tooth engagement.
• Noise Level: They can be noisy at high speeds because of the abrupt engagement of teeth.
• Load Capacity: Spur gears are designed for relatively moderate load conditions and are not typically used in applications with extreme torque requirements.

3. Key Specifications:

• Module (m): The module defines the size of the gear teeth, representing the ratio of the pitch diameter to the number of teeth.
• Pitch Diameter (d): The diameter of the pitch circle, where the gears mesh.
• Pressure Angle (α): The angle at which the teeth of the gears engage. Typical values are 20° or 14.5°.
• Number of Teeth (Z): The total number of teeth on the gearwheel.
• Face Width (b): The width of the gear at the tooth height.
• Center Distance (a): The distance between the centers of two meshing gears.
• Gear Ratio: This is the ratio between the number of teeth of the driving gear and the driven gear, determining the mechanical advantage or speed reduction.
• Helix Angle: Spur gears do not have a helix angle (it is 0°), unlike helical gears that have an inclined tooth pattern.

4. Materials:
Spur gears can be made from various materials, including:

• Steel: For high strength and durability.
• Cast Iron: For applications where shock resistance is important.
• Brass: For quieter operations and corrosion resistance.
• Plastic: For low-load and lightweight applications.

5. Advantages:

• Simple design and manufacturing.
• Easy to maintain and repair.
• Cost-effective, especially in lower power applications.
• High load-bearing capacity in low to moderate applications.

6. Disadvantages:

• Can be noisy at high speeds.
• Limited to applications with parallel shafts.
• Potential for high stress concentration on the teeth if the gear is under heavy load.

7. Applications:
Spur gears are used in a wide variety of mechanical systems such as:

• Clock mechanisms

8. Maintenance:

• Regular inspection for wear and tooth damage.
• Lubrication to reduce friction and prevent excessive wear.
• Checking alignment and tooth meshing for smooth operation.

9. Manufacturing:

• Hobbing: A common process used to manufacture spur gears.
• Shaping and Milling: Other techniques may be used for precision machining of gears.
• Grinding: For finishing gears with high precision.
