 Type of gears
Helical gear
The shape of a helix allows the teeth to mesh
gradually.
less noise, especially at medium- to high-
speeds.
generate large amounts of thrust and use
bearings to help support the thrust load
Herringbone gear
tooth structure consists of two adjoining,
opposite helixes that appear in the shape of
the letter 'V'.
multiple teeth engaged during rotation,
distributing the work load and offering quiet
operation.
No thrust loading on the bearing
