FAQs:
What is an internal spur gear and how does it work?
An internal spur gear is a gear with teeth distributed along the inner surface of a ring-shaped component. It works by meshing with an external gear, such as a pinion or planetary gear, to enable power transmission and speed conversion within limited spatial constraints.
What are the main advantages of using internal spur gears?
The main advantages include a compact overall footprint due to the internal meshing structure, reduced center distance that minimizes transmission system volume, superior transmission smoothness from optimal tooth contact, and significantly lower operational noise levels (typically 5-10dB quieter than externally meshed gears).
In which applications are internal spur gears commonly used?
Internal spur gears are suitable for applications with stringent volume constraints, including planetary gear mechanisms in automotive automatic transmissions, compact reducers for robotic joints, power tool drive systems, medical devices like wheelchair drive mechanisms, and micro-transmission modules within precision instruments.
