Helical gears are a good choice if noise is a critical issue. Angled teeth engage more gradually than a spur gear, causing them to run more smoothly and quietly. They are also used if an application involves high speed and large power transmission.
B&F can produce helical gears from 5mm to 1220mm in diameter and the pitch ranges from 100DP to 2DP (0.254MOD to 12.7MOD). Helical gears can be finish cut, ground or even shaved – we have capacity for all of these finishes.
