 A
spur gear is the most
basic type of parallel-axis
gear. Mating spur gears
are mounted on shafts
with parallel axes.
They are used to change
the speed of rotation
from one shaft to another
and/or change the direction
of rotation (clockwise
to counter-clockwise,
or vice-versa). Spur
gears are manufactured
most often by gear hobbing
or gear shaping, although
numerous other processes
can be used (notably
injection molding for
plastic gears and powder
metal pressing and sintering
for PM gears).
