HELICAL_GEAR

A curved gear, known as a helical gear, features teeth that run along a spiral path across its surface. This type of gear transmission offers both parallel and angular motion between meshing gears, providing an advantage in noise reduction compared to spur gears due to their non-synchronous mesh action. Helical gears are commonly used in automotive transmissions, industrial machinery, and various other applications requiring smooth operation and reduced vibration.
