Helical gear used in Planetary gearbox helical gear generator helical gearmotor
Types of helical gears two main types: single helical gears and double helical gears. Single helical gears have teeth cut at a single angle, providing smooth and quiet operation but generating axial forces that require additional bearing support. Double helical gears, or herringbone gears, feature two sets of helical teeth with opposing angles. This design cancels out axial forces, offering more balanced and quieter performance with higher load capacity. Both types enhance gear meshing and reduce noise compared to spur gears, making them suitable for various high-torque and precision applications
