Helical Bevel Gear

A helical bevel gear is a type of gear used to transmit power between shafts that are at right angles to each other. It features teeth that are cut at an angle to the gear's axis, creating a helix shape. This design allows for smoother and quieter operation compared to straight bevel gears, as the teeth engage gradually rather than all at once. The helical arrangement also enhances load capacity and efficiency by distributing forces more evenly across the teeth. Helical bevel gears are commonly used in applications requiring high torque and precise movement, such as in automotive differentials and various industrial machinery. Their ability to handle substantial loads and operate smoothly makes them a popular choice in complex gear systems.
