Effective power transmission in mechanical drive systems employs a gear as one of its foremost component. This is due to it suitability in compact transmission systems resulting from minimal center distance of mesh gear pair. In spur gear design the teeth profile and shaft axis to which the gear is fitted are parallel to each other. Spur gear is described as an uncomplicated type of gears and it is useful to transmit power linking parallel shafts. This paper communicates the design and analysis of plain carbon steel spur gear using SolidWorks. The Finite Element Method presented by the system is applied to analysis the design. In the present design, the approach is used to determine the minimum and maximum stresses, maximum displacement at the gear crown, deformation and the spur gear factor of safety for the applied forces; 400.34 N, 889.64 N and 1779.29 N, respectively. Simulation results indicate that with the present design; induced stress, displacement at the gear crown and deformation increases while factor of safety decreases. The maximum displacement for the gear occurs with the force application of 1779.29 N which is 1.36135 x 10-3 mm. Hence, for minimal induced stress at high force application a spur gear with improved material characteristics such as composite material is proposed.
