Drawing on over 80 years of industry experience, our technicians will work with you to determine whether Helical or spurs gears best match your design requirements. The primary difference between spur gears and helical gears is spur gear teeth are oriented parallel to the axis of rotation, and helical gear teeth are cut at an angle. Because of this, helical gears can be used to transmit motion between shafts that are situated at various angles in different planes. helical gears will also run smoother and quieter than spur gear pairs in parallel shaft arrangements. Additionally, because meshed helical gears will have more teeth in contact with mating gears at any time, helical gears can transmit higher loads than spur gears of the same size. Helical Gear Experience Geartronics produces helical gears in a multitude of configurations from a wide-variety of materials with helix angles as steep as 45-degrees. The helical gears we currently produce for our customers are typically used in applications where noise reduction is of primary importance and/or where space is limited. We have manufactured helical gears for customers from a number of industries, including: Aerospace Appliance Automotive Consumer Product Defense Food Processing Hand & Power Tools Industrial Equipment Machine Controls Medical Device & Equipment Motion Control Oil & Gas Request For Quote Ask a Technical Question HELICAL GEAR MATERIALS Geartronics has the capability of producing helical gears from a wide-range of materials, including: Aluminum Brass Bronze Castings & Forgings Delron Ductile Iron Low Carbon Alloy Steel Low Carbon Steel Medium Carbon Alloy Steel Non-Metallic Nylon Phenolic Plastics Preheat Treated Steel Stainless Steels Tool Steel CONTACT US Geartronics Incorporated 100 Chelmsford Road North Billerica, MA 01862 Call Us: 978.663.6566 Fax: 978.667.3130 Copyright © 2020 Geartronics Incorporated.
