Spur Gear

The document describes the spur gear, its parts, and how to draw one. It defines a spur gear as the simplest form of toothed wheel with radial teeth parallel to the axis. It explains how to calculate details like number of teeth, diameters, and dimensions. It outlines the steps to construct a spur gear drawing by first calculating values, then drawing the outer diameter, root diameter, pitch diameter, and bisecting the base circle using the radius to form the gear teeth profile.

3. Layout the Chordal Thickness


on the Pitch Diameter.
4. Position the compass on the
Chordal Thickness point. Bisect
the Base Circle using R and
draw the gear profile.
 R = ¼ of Pitch Diameter Radius
Note:
• In actual drawing, we can
round off calculated values.
• Just remember to be
consistent in offsetting values.
Summary

• The simplest form of toothed wheel


used in machinery with radial teeth
parallel to the axis.
• Calculate the spur gear details before
drawing.
• Remember to follow the spur gear
construction steps to produce good
drawing.
