A helical gear is a type of gear in which the teeth
are set at an oblique angle to the axis. This tilt angle ensures that the contact
between the gears is softer and the transmission of motion is quieter and more
efficient. Helical gears are generally preferred for higher speeds and heavier loads.
Advantages of Use
- Quiet Operation: The inclined structure of
the teeth reduces friction and vibration.
- High Efficiency: Larger contact area
improves power transmission.
- Durability: Suitable for high speed and
heavy load applications.
- Precision: Provides more precise motion
transmission than spur gears.
