    Spur Gear: Gears

    Uploaded by

    Gears are used to transmit power from one shaft to another through engaging teeth. They maintain exact speed ratios and power transmission. Spur gears specifically transmit power between parallel shafts through straight teeth parallel to the shaft. Spur gears are the simplest type of gear and consist of a disk with radially projecting teeth, though the teeth edge is usually involute curved rather than straight. Spur gears can be external or internal and are excellent for moderate speeds but tend to be noisy at high speeds.

    GEARS

    Spur gear

    Gears

    Gears are used to transmit power positively from one shaft to another by means of
    successively engaging teeth (in two gears). They are used in place of belt drives and
    other forms of friction drives when exact speed ratios and power transmissions must
    be maintained. Gears may also be used to increase or decrease the speed of the
    given shaft, thus increasing or decreasing the torque of the driven member.

    Shaft in a gear drive or train are generally parallel. They may however, be
    driven at any angle by means of suitably designed gears.

    Spur gear

    Spur gears are generally used to transmit power between two parallel shafts. The
    teeth on these gears are straight and parallel to the shaft to which they are
    attached. When two gears of different sizes are in mesh, the larger is called the
    gear while the smaller is called the pinion. Spur gears are used where slow to
    moderate speeds are required.
    Spur gears or straight-cut gears are the simplest type of gear. They consist of a
    cylinder or disk with teeth projecting radially. Though the teeth are not straight-sided
    (but usually of special form to achieve a constant drive ratio, mainly involute but less
    commonly cycloidal), the edge of each tooth is straight and aligned parallel to the axis of
    rotation. These gears mesh together correctly only if fitted to parallel shafts. [1] No axial
    thrust is created by the tooth loads. Spur gears are excellent at moderate speeds but
    tend to be noisy at high speeds.[2]
    Spur gear can be classified into two pressure angles, 20° being the current industry
    standard and 14½° being the former (often found in older equipment). [3] Spur gear teeth
    are manufactured by either involute profile or cycloidal profile. When two gears are in
    mesh at one instant there is a chance to mate involute portion with non-involute portion
    of mating gear. This phenomenon is known as "interference" and occurs when the
    number of teeth on the smaller of the two meshing gears is less than a required
    minimum. To avoid interference we can have undercutting, but this is not a suitable
    solution as undercutting leads to weakening of tooth at its base. In this situation
    Corrected gears are used. In corrected gears Cutter rack is shifted upwards or
    downwards.
    The spur gears can be classified into two main categories: External and Internal. The
    gears with teeth cut outside of the cylinder are known as external gears. The gears with
    teeth cut on the internal side of the cylinder are known as internal gears. An external
    gear can mesh with an external gear or an internal gear. When two external gears mesh
    together they rotate in the opposite directions. An internal gear can only mesh with an
    external gear and the gears rotate in the same direction. Due to the close positioning of
    shafts internal gear assemblies are more compact then external gear assemblies.

    Internal gears are used where the shafts are parallel and the centers must be
    closer together than could be achieved with spur or helical gearing. This
    arrangement provides for a stronger drive since there is a greater area of contact

    than with the conventional gear drive. It also provides speed reductions with a
    minimum space requirement. Internal gears are used on heavy duty tractors
    where much torque is required.
    Helical gears: may be used to connect parallel shafts or shafts that are at an angle.
    Because of the progressive rather than internal action of the teeth, helical gears run
    more smoothly and quietly than spur gears.

    RACK AND PINION GEARS: Convert rotary motion to linear motion.

    When it is necessary to convert rotary motion to linear motion, a rack and pinion may be
    used. The rack, which is actually a straight or flat gear, may have straight teeth to mesh
    with a spur gear, or angular teeth to mesh with a helical gear
