More than 8,000 configurations of off-the-shelf metric spur gears are available in many materials, configurations, modules, and numbers of teeth.

SS series spur gears are minimum plain-bore spur gears made from 1045 carbon steel. These gears are ideal for general industrial automation applications. Available in pitch sizes Module 0.5 through 10 with 12 to 200 teeth, these gears can be modified with standard keyways, tapped holes, modified bores, heat treating, or fixed with locking devices.

SSA series spur gears are hubless versions of the SS series and are available in Modules 1 through 6 with 15 to 200 teeth. These gears can also be supplied with the same modifications as the SS series.

SSG series spur gears are similar to the SS series, except that the tooth surfaces are induction hardened to HRC 50-55 for added durability. After heat treating. these gears have their bores and teeth ground finished for higher precision.

For applications where carbon steel is not suited, KHK offers spur gear made from 303 stainless steel, MC901 nylon, acetal, high-strength chromoly steel and brass.
