Product Description

 

 

Herringbone gears are a specific type of gear that feature a unique double helix shape resembling the bones of a fish, hence the name "herringbone." They are characterized by their distinctive V-shaped teeth that are arranged in a herringbone pattern.

 

Features

 

Double Helix Shape: The most distinctive characteristic of herringbone gears is their double helix shape, which allows for smoother and more efficient operation compared to traditional spur gears.

Self-Aligning: Due to the opposing helix angles on either side of the gear, herringbone gears are self-aligning. This helps to reduce axial thrust and prevents gear misalignment.

High Load Capacity: Herringbone gears are capable of handling high loads and transmitting significant amounts of power due to their robust design.

Reduced Vibration and Noise: The double helix design helps to cancel out axial forces and minimize vibration and noise during operation, making them ideal for applications where noise reduction is important.
 

 

Functions

Power Transmission: Like other types of gears, herringbone gears are primarily used to transmit power between parallel shafts while maintaining a constant speed ratio.

Direction Change: Herringbone gears can change the direction of rotation between two shafts while transmitting power efficiently.

Speed Reduction or Increase: By using herringbone gears with different numbers of teeth on the mating gears, speed reduction or increase can be achieved.
