SUMMARY
Locking a spur gear effectively depends on its state during the locking process. If the spur gear is stationary, inserting blocks between it and the corresponding gear or using a pin through the shaft are straightforward methods for securing it. However, if the gear is in motion, these methods risk damaging the teeth. Additional context about the specific application and gear configuration is essential for a comprehensive solution.
