    Helical gears have teeth that are inclined to the axis, making the teeth longer than spur gears and allowing for increased contact ratio and better load sharing between teeth. This results in smoother and quieter operation compared to spur gears. However, the inclined teeth also create axial forces in addition to other loads, which can reduce bearing life but alternating helix direction on shared shafts can help overcome this effect. Helical gears are commonly used for parallel shaft drives and in automotive transmissions.

    Original Description:

    Helical gears are used for parallel shaft drives. Their teeth are inclined to the axis and hence for the same width, their teeth are longer than spur gears.

    Helical gears

    Helical gears are used for parallel shaft drives. Their teeth are inclined to the axis and hence for the same width, their teeth are longer than spur gears. Their contact ratio (the average number of teeth in contact at any one time) is therefore higher than that of spur gears, which allows increased capacity (better load sharing) and a smoother and quieter operation. Due to the tooth inclination, helical gears tend to create axial forces, in addition to transverse and radial loads. This can have undesirable effects on bearing life, but can be overcome to some degree in multiple step transmissions by alternating the inclination of helix on gears that share the same shaft. Helical gears also are used in automotive gear boxes
