Helical Drives

Helical gears are ideally suited for very high speed and take up appreciable load, though their efficiency is lesser than that of spur mesh. Helical gears primarily connect to parallel shafts, with their teeth lying along helices. It is helical gearthis parallel shafting that ensures high speed and its application wherever spurs gears are used .Helical Gears are highly recommended for all high speed and high load meshes. Helical gear is almost equal in quality to spurs excepting for the complication of their angle.

The typical characteristic of this type is Skewed shafting, point contact, high sliding. These are ideally suited for lower speeds and lighter loads. This type is to better Crossed helical gear avoided for precision meshes. Another feature being the point contact is of limited capacity and precision and therefore is suitable for right angle drives if the load is light. Good lubrication should always be ensured in use of helical gears.
