Helical gears are a remarkable innovation in the field of mechanical power transmission. Unlike spur gears, whose teeth are straight and parallel to the gear axis, helical gears have teeth that are cut at an angle to the axis. This helical tooth design brings several advantages to the table.

The angled teeth of helical gears engage gradually as the gears rotate. This results in a smoother and quieter operation compared to spur gears. As the teeth mesh, the contact area between them increases, allowing for a more even distribution of the load. This not only reduces wear and tear but also enhances the gear's ability to handle higher loads and transmit power more efficiently.
At our company, we understand that the choice of material is crucial for the performance and longevity of helical gears. We offer a wide range of materials to suit different application requirements.
For general industrial applications, alloy steels such as 40Cr and 20CrMnTi are commonly used. These steels provide excellent strength, hardness, and wear resistance. They can withstand heavy loads and high-speed operation, making them ideal for use in machinery such as industrial pumps, compressors, and conveyors.
In applications where corrosion resistance is a concern, such as in the marine or chemical industries, we offer helical gears made from stainless steel. Stainless steel not only resists rust and corrosion but also maintains its mechanical properties in harsh environments.
For applications where weight reduction is important, such as in the aerospace and automotive industries, we can provide helical gears made from lightweight materials like aluminum alloys. Although aluminum alloys have lower strength compared to steel, they offer significant weight savings, which can improve fuel efficiency and overall performance.
Our manufacturing process for helical gears is a testament to our commitment to quality and precision. We start with high-quality raw materials and use advanced machining techniques to ensure the accuracy of the gear dimensions.
The helical teeth are cut using state-of-the-art gear cutting machines. These machines are programmed to create the precise helical angle and tooth profile, ensuring a perfect meshing between the gears. After the teeth are cut, the gears undergo a series of heat treatment processes, such as quenching and tempering, to enhance their mechanical properties.
We also pay close attention to the surface finish of the gears. A smooth surface finish reduces friction between the teeth, improving the efficiency of the power transmission and reducing the risk of wear. Our finishing processes, such as grinding and polishing, ensure that the gears meet the highest standards of quality.
Helical gears find widespread applications across various industries. In the automotive industry, they are used in transmissions to transfer power from the engine to the wheels. The smooth and efficient operation of helical gears in transmissions improves the driving experience and fuel efficiency of vehicles.
In the industrial machinery sector, helical gears are used in a variety of equipment, including machine tools, printing presses, and textile machinery. Their ability to handle high loads and operate quietly makes them an ideal choice for these applications.
In the power generation industry, helical gears are used in turbines and generators to transfer power from the prime mover to the electrical generator. Their high efficiency and reliability are crucial for the continuous and stable operation of power plants.
