Spur gearboxes are a type of gear mechanism used to transmit power and adjust the speed or torque of a rotational motion. They consist of two or more spur gears that mesh with each other, with one gear connected to the input shaft and another gear connected to the output shaft. The teeth on the gears are straight and parallel to the shafts, allowing for efficient power transmission.

The primary purpose of a spur gearbox is to change the speed and torque characteristics of a rotational input. By using gears with different numbers of teeth, the gear ratio can be adjusted to increase or decrease the speed and torque output relative to the input. This makes spur gearboxes useful in a wide range of applications where speed reduction, speed increase, or torque multiplication is required.

Spur gearboxes are commonly used in various industries and machinery, including automotive transmissions, industrial machinery, robotics, and power tools. They are relatively simple in design, easy to manufacture, and cost-effective,
