10 Module 32T Gear Grinding Spur Gears For Mining Transmission System

1) Material of Spur Gear

Spur gears can be made from metals such as steel or brass, or from plastics such as nylon or polycarbonate.

Gears made of plastic produce less noise, but at the expense of strength and loading capability.

Unlike other gear types, spur gears don’t experience high losses due to slippage, so they generally have

high transmission efficiency. Multiple spur gears can be used in series (referred to as a gear train) to

achieve large reduction ratios.

2) Applications of Spur Gear

Spur gears are generally seen as best for applications that require speed reduction and torque multiplication,

such as ball mills and crushing equipment. Examples of high-speed applications that use spur gears – despite

their high noise levels – include consumer appliances such as washing machines and blenders. And while

noise limits the use of spur gears in passenger automobiles, they are often used in aircraft engines, trains,

and even bicycles.
