The Spur Gear
Prepared by: Henry L. Paz

Objectives:
• • • • To describe the spur gear; To identify the spur gear parts; To draw spur gear; To follow faithfully the steps in drawing a spur gear.

Gear up and get ready to learn!

Let me ask you.

• What is a gear?

Gear is…

• Toothed wheel used to transmit power and rotating motion from one machine part to another.

Gear is…

• The simplest form of toothed wheel used in machinery with radial teeth parallel to the axis.

Types of Gear
• • • • • Spur Gear Helical Gear Bevel Gear Worm Gear Rack and Pinion Gear

Here’s the Spur Gear parts.

Here’s the Spur Gear basics.

• Calculate for spur gear details. • Follow steps in constructing spur gear.

Spur Gear Calculation • Given
–N = 20
–(Number of Teeth)

–P = 5”
–(Diametral Pitch)

– = 20 degrees
–(Pressure Angle)

Spur Gear Calculation

• Pressure Angle
• = 20 degrees

Spur Gear Calculation

• Pitch Diameter • D = N/P • 20/5 • 4” • 101.6mm

Spur Gear Calculation

• Number of Teeth •N=PxD • 20 D = Pitch Diameter

Spur Gear Calculation

• Diametral Pitch • P = N/D • 5” • 127mm

Spur Gear Calculation

• Outside Diameter • Do = (N+2)/P • (20+2)/5 • 4.4000” • 111.76mm

Spur Gear Calculation

• Addendum • a = 1/P • 0.2000” • 5.08mm

Spur Gear Calculation

• Dedendum • b = 1.157/P • 0.2314” • 5.87mm

Spur Gear Calculation

• Clearance • c = 0.157/P • 0.0314” • 0.79mm

Spur Gear Calculation

• Working Depth • hk = 2/P • 2/4 • 0.4000” • 10.16mm

Spur Gear Calculation

• Whole Depth • ht = 2.157/P • 0.4314” • 10.95mm

Spur Gear Calculation

• Root Diameter • D R = D – ht • 4.000” – 0.4314” • 3.5686” • 90.64mm
