No, they would need to be bevel gears. Peg gear wheels would but they are generaly made from wood and used for agriculture etc.

What is the difference between spur gears and other gears?

Spur gears are cut with straight teeth. They can only transmit rotation between parallel shafts, and are relatively economical. Bevel gears have teeth cut on an angle. They transmit rotation between non-parallel shafts. Helical gears have curved teeth. They are generally quieter than spur gears, but are generally more difficult to make and more expensive.


Is planetary gears used for spur gear?

Planetary gears can be spur or helical gears.


What are the different types of gear combinations used in mechanical systems?

There are three main types of gear combinations used in mechanical systems: spur gears, helical gears, and bevel gears. Spur gears have straight teeth and are used for simple applications. Helical gears have angled teeth for smoother operation and higher loads. Bevel gears have cone-shaped teeth and are used to change the direction of rotation.


Why reverse gear is spur?

Reverse gear is spur because it has to slide, sliding mesh gearbox uses spur gears. Because if it was constant mesh gear (helical) it could not slide in and out, therefore it could not go in the opposite direction of rotation.


What disadvantages of spur gears?

Advantages - Spur gears are simplest, easiest to design and manufacture and disadvanages i dunno :)


Where spur gears are used?

What is it called when one spur is used to turn several other spur gears?

When one spur gear is used to turn several other spur gears, it is referred to as a "gear train." In a gear train, the driving gear (the one with the spur) transfers motion and torque to the driven gears, allowing for the transmission of power through multiple gears. This arrangement is commonly used to achieve different speed and torque outputs in machinery.


Where can spur gears be seen?

What is the difference between helical gear and screw?

Spur gears have straight teeth while helical gears have curved teeth. Generally, helical gears are usually quieter and smoother in operation, while spur gears are easier to make and much less expensive.Helical gears are stronger than spur gears.


Why do they use spur cut gears in performance transmissions?

They don't. Most racing trans have straight cut gears. Spur cuts are a little easier to shift.


What is different between spur gear and worm gear?

Spur gears give 180 degree drive, and worm gears give 90 degree drive.
