DETAIL
  1. Teeth Orientation: The teeth on a spur gear are straight and parallel to the gear's axis of rotation, which makes them simple and easy to manufacture.

  2. Noise and Efficiency: Spur gears tend to generate noise at high speeds due to the sudden engagement and disengagement of teeth. However, they are highly efficient and effective in transmitting power and motion.

  3. Applications: They are used in a variety of applications where the shafts are parallel, such as in clocks, washing machines, conveyor systems, and various industrial machinery.

  4. Load Capacity: Spur gears are well-suited for moderate to high load capacities and provide a reliable solution for torque and speed adjustments.

  5. Design Simplicity: Their straightforward design makes them easy to design, produce, and maintain.

Overall, spur gears are valued for their simplicity, efficiency, and effectiveness in a wide range of mechanical applications.
