Product Overview:
 

Helical gearing is machined to have angled teeth, then hardened and ground to achieve an efficient gear mesh. The teeth angle enables the gears to gradually mesh. Thus, two or three teeth of each gear are always in contact with other gears. This configuration lessens the load on each tooth and creates a smooth transition of forces from one tooth to the next. The result: less vibration, wear, noise, and a longer life.

​

Product Advantages
 

• Helical gears will have more capability to transmit load between two parallel shafts as compared to similar module and equivalent width of spur gears.

• The angled teeth engage more gradually than do spur gear teeth causing them to run more smoothly and quietly

• Helical gears are highly durable and are ideal for high load applications.

• Can transmit motion and power between either parallel or right angle shafts

• At any given time their load is distributed over several teeth, resulting in less wear. Helical gears experience minimal wear and are practically maintenance-free as compared to worm gearings.

• Noise from helical gearing is approximately 10 to 12 dB lower than that from spur gearing. In human terms, that means 16 helical gear units generate as much noise as eight worm gears or a single spur-gear unit.

• Helical gearing is 20 to 30% more efficient than single-stage worm gearing. That not only means cooler operation. With a 2-hp motor, helical gears can save up to 4,000 kW-hr annually.
