helical teeth

Ever wonder how an apparatus with gears functions? Gears are extremely important components in as they enable machines to function properly and efficiently perform their tasks. Many machines would not be able to function properly if they did not have gears. Now today we are going to get knowledge of a different type of gear that is helical teeth gears, which is very fascinating and important in many machines.

A Helical tooth is a gear teeth which looks alike spiral (or) screw. Helical teeth do not lie on a straight line – they are very much curved and unlike flat as with gear wheels. Gears are twisted so they can mesh with each other better. This way they can distribute the burden equally between them when they are working together. This peculiar shape makes helical teeth suitable for high-performance and high-speed machines such vehicles, cars or airplanes etc.

Why helical teeth are crucial for smooth gear operations

Gears with helical teeth are good in terms of smooth operation. What makes them especially effective is that they are shaped like a star. Straight teethed gears, when they touch each other are striking all at once as illustrated below which results in a lot of noise and shaking so some flutter springs & spring washers helps to control the chatter. On the other hand, helical teeth touch peak of gear slowly. At one end they touch first, and then slide along the tooth in contact until reaching at conclusion point. This gradual touching is essential in machines that need to be operated quietly, such as at home or hospitals.
