Helical Gears

grabcad

Spiral-shaped gears, also known as helical gears, are mechanical components that transmit power between two intermeshing shafts. They offer quiet operation and efficient transmission of torque compared to spur gears. The helix angle of the gear teeth determines the amount of parallel contact between gears, which can result in lower noise levels and reduced wear. These gears are commonly used in automotive transmissions, machinery, and industrial equipment.
