Herringbone gear shaft

الوصف

Herringbone gears, also known as double helical gears, are gear sets designed to transmit power through parallel axes or (less commonly) vertical axes. The unique tooth structure of herringbone gears consists of two adjacent opposing spirals in the shape of the letter "V".
Herringbone gears mate by using smooth, precisely manufactured V-shaped teeth. Like helical gears, multiple teeth mesh during rotation, spreading the workload and providing quiet operation. However, due to their tooth structure, herringbone gears counteract the axial thrust typical of helical gears.
Application of Herringbone Gears
Machine Tool
In precision machine tools, such as lathes and milling machines, herringbone gears are used to transfer power between motors and moving parts. This helps ensure precise machining and reduces unnecessary vibrations.
