Helical gears are cut at angles which allow for gradual contact between each of the helical gear teeth. This type of innovation provides for a smooth and quiet operation. Gearboxes using helical gears are applicable in high horsepower and efficient applications.

Helical gears are widely used in applications which require efficiency and high horsepower. The following are examples of typical applications for heclical gears:

• Oil Industry
• Blowers
• Food and Labeling
• Cutters
• Elevators

Advantages of Helical Gears:

• Can be meshed in parallel or cross orientation
• Smooth and quiet operation
• Efficient
• High horsepower

Disadvantages of Helical Gears:

• Resultant thrust along axis of gear
• Additives to lubrication

Helical gears are typically constructed from cast iron, aluminum allow or iron material but may vary depending on the manufacturer.

Note: Helical gears made from steel materials can be noisy when coming into contact with other heclical gears, which makes them prone to wear.

They offer high efficiency and low gear ratios. A straight bevel right-angle speed reducer with straight cut teeth are utilized in slow speed applications, whereas spiral bevel right-angle speed reduceres with curved teeth are utilized in high performance, high speed applications. Worm right-angle speed reduceres are also available with right angle configurations. They are able to sustain high shock loads, low in noise, maintenance-free but are less efficient than a bevel right-angle speed reducer. Q. Can a right-angle speed reducer be backdriven? A. Some right-angle speed reducer types, such as a spur right-angle speed reducer can be backdriven, while some, such as the worm right-angle speed reducer cannot be backdriven. Q. How many planet gears are there in a right-angle speed reducer? A. The amount of planetary gears in a right-angle speed reducer differs based on specific application requirements. Most planetary right-angle speed reducer types consist of two or more planetary gears. Q. What is the difference between straight cut gears and helical gears? A. Straight cut gears have straight and tapered teeth, and are used for low speed applications. Helical gears are cut at angles to allow gradual contact between the gear teeth. This allows for smooth and quiet operation. Helical gears are applicable in high horsepower and efficient applications.

Q. Are planetary and spur gearbox types bi-directional? A. Yes, planetary and spur gearboxes are designed to be used for bi-directional operation. The direction the input shaft rotates and gear arrangement of the spur gearbox will determine the rotation of the output shaft. Q. Can Anaheim Automation’s motors be combined with a spur gearbox? A. Anaheim Automation’s motors can be assembled with a spur gearbox to meet the necessary requirements of an application. Motors and spur gearboxes can be purchased separately or be purchased as an assembled unit. Customization is available. Minimum purchase requirements and a Non-Cancellable/Non-Returnable agreement will apply. Q. What is the lifetime of an Anaheim Automation motor and spur gearbox? A. The lifetime of a motor and spur gearbox varies by user application. Certain factors determine the lifetime of a product, such as environment, radial loads (torque), duty cycle, and input power. All these factors play a role in the lifetime of a motor and spur gearbox.
