Understanding Aerospace Spur Gears

Aerospace spur gears are the most common type of gears used in the industry, featuring teeth parallel to the axis of rotation. These gears are designed for precision and durability, engineered to withstand the demanding requirements of aerospace applications, including high speeds, extreme temperatures, and heavy loads. Their simple yet robust design ensures smooth and consistent operation, making them ideal for critical functions such as engine drives, landing gear mechanisms, and auxiliary systems.

Aerospace spur gears are fundamental components within the propulsion and power transmission systems of aircraft and spacecraft. These gears feature straight teeth aligned parallel to the gear’s axis, providing efficient and reliable motion transfer between rotating shafts. Spur gears are also widely used in auxiliary systems such as actuators and fuel pumps.

Types of Aerospace Spur Gears

  1. External Spur Gears: These gears have teeth on the outer periphery of the gear wheel, meshing with other external gears to transmit power and motion.
  2. Internal Spur Gears: Also known as ring gears, these gears have teeth cut on the inner surface of a cylindrical gear wheel, allowing them to mesh with external spur gears for compact gear arrangements.
