Planes at a pitch point on a helical tooth. A normal plane is normal to a tooth surface at a pitch point, and perpendicular to the pitch plane. In a helical rack, a normal plane is normal to all the teeth it intersects. In a helical gear, however, a plane can be normal to only one tooth at a point lying in the plane surface.
Helical involute gears are typically only used in limited situations where the spirals of the teeth are of the same handedness, the spirals of the two involutes are of different handedness, and the line of action is the external tangents to the base circles (analogous to a normal belt drive, whereas normal gears are analogous to a crossed-belt ...
A worm gear is a species of helical gear, but its helix angle is usually somewhat large (close to 90 degrees) and its body is usually fairly long in the axial direction. These attributes give it screw like qualities. The distinction between a worm and a helical gear is that at least one tooth persists for a full rotation around the helix.
A herringbone gear, a specific type of double helical gear, [1] is a side-to-side, rather than face-to-face, combination of two helical gears of opposite hands. [2] From the top, each helical groove of this gear looks like the letter V, and many together form a herringbone pattern (resembling the bones of a fish such as a herring).
In spur gears and straight bevel gears, tooth profiles are considered only in a transverse plane, and the general terms profile angle and pressure angle are customarily used rather than transverse profile angle and transverse pressure angle. In helical teeth, the profiles may be considered in different planes, and in specifications it is ...
Spiral bevel gear. A spiral bevel gear is a bevel gear with helical teeth. The main application of this is in a vehicle differential, where the direction of drive from the drive shaft must be turned 90 degrees to drive the wheels. The helical design produces less vibration and noise than conventional straight-cut or spur-cut gear with straight ...
Common applications are screws, helical gears, and worm gears. The helix angle references the axis of the cylinder, distinguishing it from the lead angle, which references a line perpendicular to the axis. Naturally, the helix angle is the geometric complement of the lead angle. The helix angle is measured in degrees.
where the sides of the equally spaced grooves are usually involute, but the male teeth are modified to allow for misalignment. Serrations where the sides of the equally spaced grooves form a "V". These are used on small-diameter shafts. Helical splines where the equally spaced grooves form a helix about the shaft. The sides may be parallel or ...
