Helical gear is a popular type of
gear having its teeth cut at an angle, thus allowing for more gradual
and smoother meshing between gear wheels. The helical gears are a
refinement over spur gears.
The teeth on helical gears are specially cut at an angle, so as to face
the gear. As two teeth on the gear system engage, it starts a contact on
one end of the tooth which gradually spreads with the gear rotation,
until the time when both the tooth are fully engaged.
The gears are available in different sizes, shapes and designs to meet
the customer specifications.
Materials Used
These gears can be manufactured from superior quality materials
including stainless steel, steel, cast iron, brass etc. depending on the
application.
Use of Helical Gears
These gears are used in areas requiring high speeds, large power
transmission, or where noise prevention is important.
