Helical Gears

Helical gears are a type of cylindrical gear with teeth cut at an angle to the axis of rotation, forming a helix. This angled design allows for smoother, quieter operation and higher load capacity compared to traditional spur gears, which have straight teeth.

Common Applications
Due to their advantages, helical gears are widely used in a variety of applications where quiet, efficient, and durable power transmission is required:
• Automotive Transmissions: They are the standard for forward gears in car gearboxes because of their quiet operation.
• Industrial Machinery: Used in pumps, elevators, conveyors, and compressors that require high-speed, high-load capabilities.
• Heavy Equipment: Found in wind turbines, steel mills, and marine propulsion systems.
• Precision Instruments: Their smooth operation makes them suitable for applications like printing presses and certain medical technologies.
