Advantages
• Minimal power loss due to low friction between the teeth
• Simple construction; inexpensive
• Multiple stages are possible
• Reversible: Force and speed can be transmitted in both directions
Applications
• Spur gear to spur gear combination: Transmission of rotary movement between parallel axles. By using different numbers of teeth, it is possible to change the turning speed and the torque.
• Spur gear to rack combination: Conversion of rotary motion into linear motion and vice versa
