    This document discusses helical gears and herringbone gears. Helical gears have a helix angle between 7 to 23 degrees, can operate at larger speeds, more smoothly and quietly than other gears. They produce axial thrust as a disadvantage. Herringbone gears have two helical gears with opposing helix angles arranged side by side so their axial thrusts cancel each other out, making them advantageous where axial thrust needs to be minimized.

    Helical Gear Characteristics Herringbone Gears


    „ Helix angle 7 to 23 degrees „ Two helical gears with opposing helical angles
    „ More power side-
    side-by-
    by-side
    „ Larger speeds „ Axial thrust gets cancelled
    „ More smooth and quiet operation
    „ Used in automobiles
    „ Helix angle must be the same for both the mating
    gears
    „ Produces axial thrust which is a disadvantage
