Helical Gears: Minimizing Noise & Vibration in Power Transmission In the realm of mechanical power transmission, the quest for efficiency, reliability, and quiet operation is paramount. While various gear types exist, helical gears stand out for their ability to minimize noise and vibration, making them ideal for a wide range of applications where smooth and silent performance is crucial. Understanding Helical Gears Helical gears are characterized by their teeth, which are cut at an angle to the gear axis. This angled tooth design distinguishes them from spur gears, which have straight teeth parallel to the axis. The helix angle (the angle of the teeth relative to the gear axis) is […]
