KHK USA Inc. Announces Extensive Line of Spur Gears
A large selection of off-the-shelf products and customized solutions ready within 5 business days
Mineola, NY - KHK USA Inc., a factory owned distributor of the market leading KHK® brand
shelf KHK Spur Gears are available in many materials, configurations, modules and numbers of
teeth, and KHK quick customized products can ready within 5 business days.
Spur gears are cylindrical disks which have involute shaped teeth cut into their face. The
meshing of spur gears results in rolling contacts producing high efficiency of about 95 - 98%.
Secondary operations that can be performed include opening the bore, adding of keyways,
adding of tapped holes, or reduction of the hub diameter.
KHK Spur Gears are available in a wide variety of materials including structural carbon steel
S45C, structural alloy steels SCM440 (medium carbon steel) and SCM415 (low carbon steel),
gray cast iron FC200, stainless steels SUS303 and SUS304, nonferrous metal C3604 (free
cutting brass), engineering plastics MC901 and MC602ST. Materials conform to U.S. standards
including AISI, SAE, ASTM, and AGMA.
The production process of KHK cylindrical gears, including spur gears, depends on
consideration of tooth size expressed in module or DP (diametral pitch), configuration, material,
heat treating, method for finishing the tooth surface, precision of the gears and manufacturing
quantity. The typical production sequence involves cutting off material, blank making on a lathe,
tooth cutting on a hobbing machine and deburring. KHK also offers a new method in which a 5-
axis machining center is used in combination with gear manufacturing software.
