As the most common type of gear, spur gears are often the most cost-effective type of gearing.
Spur gears typically have straight teeth, transmit motion and power between parallel shafts and are frequently used by OEM manufacturers in the electronics, construction equipment, machine tooling, conveyor and material handling industries, among many others.
Used to transfer mechanical motion as well as control speed, power and torque, these simple gears are durable, reliable and provide a positive, constant speed drive to facilitate daily industrial operations.
Because of their shape, spur gears are classified as a type of cylindrical gears. Since the tooth surfaces of these gears are parallel to the axes of the mounted shaft, there is no thrust force generated in the axial direction. Furthermore, because of the ease of production, spur gears can be made to a high degree of precision.
A spur gear’s design makes it suitable for lower speed operations or operational environments with a higher noise tolerance. Typical industrial applications include transmissions, conveyor systems, speed reducers, engines and mechanical, transportation systems, gear pumps and motors, and machining tools.
Important measurements that should be considered are:

Our slewing bearings range from small, single-row to large, triple-roller bearings.
Small- to mid-sized OEMs trust Rhino Gear to meet both custom and standard gear orders.
Our slewing drives cross over all major brands and come in a range of design options
SlimPro thin section bearings are designed to solve the most demanding bearing challenges.
These next-generation split roller bearings are renowned for their ability to reduce downtime, resulting in increased production.
When Wolf Robotics needed a quick turnaround on a new slewing bearing for a special project in 2017, SlewPro was the only company able to meet the time and specification requirements. The project met all requirements and was on budget, earning more trust from Wolf Robotics’ engineering team.
