Flat spur gears, also known as straight-tooth gears, are essential components in various industries for efficient power transmission. These gears are characterized by their flat profile, uniform thickness, and straight teeth, which are parallel to the gear axis. They are ideal for high-precision applications requiring smooth operation and reliability.
