A Helical Gear is a bar or rectangular gear (flat, no curvature) having straight teeth cut on the face, perpendicular to the axis of motion

» Spur gear teeth “curved”, teeth are cut at an angle
» Designed to transmit motion & power between either parallel or right angle shafts (90°, non-intersecting), which rotates in the opposite direction
» Durable & ideal for high load applications
» Plastic, brass, steel, & aluminum are the materials generally used for manufacturing
» Automobiles, elevators, conveyors, compressors & blowers are just a few everyday machines where helical gears are used
» Helical gears are also used in machine tools, turbine drives, feed drives, sand mullers, rolling mills & marine applications

Note: in order for helical gears to work together (mesh) they must have the same diametral pitch (pitch), pressure angle (PA) & helix angle
