Spur Gears

The Simplest Form of Parallel Axis Gears

While widely known for our bevel gear products, Arrow is also a leading supplier of spur gears.

Pump Gears

Pump gears are similar to spur gears in their geometry. However, pump gears are not used to transmit power between shafts. Instead, they are used for the positive displacement of fluid in pumping applications - most commonly for fuel systems. The benefit of using pump gears in this application over other methods is the precise volume of fluid that is displaced during each revolution.
