spiral gearing

Do you ever wonder how machines can make things turn? It’s pretty fascinating! A critical component that may or might assist the doing these machines is spiral gearing. Spiral gearing is something that has been involved with many types of machines, but we are going to explore it here in detail and find out why it is one which can be useful for freaking all the time.

Spiral Gearing - types of gears with teeth shaped like spirals (think corkscrew) This particular shape comes with a number of advantages when compared to the other types of gears. It has one major advantage and that is the spiral gears are immensely strong in their design, as they can last for a very long period of time before breaking or wearing out. This means that machines which employ spiral gears can be incredibly reliable and run for decades.

A Closer Look

Spiral gears are known for their near noiseless operation. The spiral teeth are designed so that they mesh correctly and move easily together, which means when they touch the sound is very minimal. That is a particularly excellent characteristic for machines that must operate respectfully. Another example is if you think about how machines in libraries or hospitals run, they have to be as quiet a mouse not disturbing anyone.

Teeth rubbingEach tooth rubbed results in lots of friction, which means the more teeth a gear has and that rub against one another, it wears out faster. But it has a low friction since the teeth slide smoothly together with spiral gears. Therefore, spiral gears are longer lasting and more reliable in the long run.
