The spur gear is also known as the cylindrical gear. Spur gears are characterized by the fact that there are teeth around the circumference of the cylindrical disc. A spur gear unit is produced when the axes of a spur gear and the mating gear are parallel to one another. The term spur always describes the outer shape of the gear. There are however also inner gears, which cannot be described as spur gears.
