Types of Spur Gear:-

There are three important types of

Spur Gear and those are:

1. External Spur Gear

2. Internal Spur Gear and
3. Spur Rack and Pinion.

Spur Gear Advantages:

The following advantages of Spur Gear are:

• Easy to manufacture.
• No Axial thrust.
• Bearing is not needed.
• Simple compact design that makes them easy to design
and install even in limited or restricted spaces.
• Constant speed Driven can be achieved we can increase
or decrease According to our needs.
• Spur gears are not going to slip during the operation &
they are reliable and durable.
• With less power loss, we can achieve 90-95% power
efficiency.
• Less expense as compared to the other gears.

Spur Gear Disadvantages:

The disadvantages of Spur Gear are:

• Spur gears have instant contact for few seconds making

them under impact stresses as the load is variable cyclic
stresses comes into the picture thus the fatigue failure may
occur.
• It is noisy at high speed.
• They cannot be used for long-distance power transmission.
• They can only have limited center distance.
• As the velocity increases, Vibration will increase.
• It cannot be used when Axial direction, change is required.
• Can’t use for high load.
• Not strong when used at high speed.

 HELICAL GEAR

Helical gears are one type of cylindrical gears with

slanted tooth trace. Compared to spur gears, they
have the larger contact ratio and excel in quietness
and less vibration and able to transmit large force. A
pair of helical gears has the same helix angle but
the helix hand is opposite.

Advantages
 Helical gears can be used with both parallel and non-parallel shafts.

 Because the teeth engage more gradually, helical gears offer smoother gear
operation, reducing shock loads and causing less noise and vibration. This
makes them ideal for high-speed applications where noise abatement is a
requirement.
 Helical gears are more durable. They have a higher number of teeth which
means less load is placed on each tooth which results in less wear.

 Helical gears have a high load-carrying capacity. Its teeth, which are
diagonally positioned, are larger in number and length, increasing the
surface area of contact. In addition, the teeth are always in mesh which
enables the gears to distribute the load among several axes at all times.
