  1. The angled way in which teeth are cut for helical gears means they are a quieter gear than the spur gears.<\/li>\n
  2. The angle cut to the face of the gear creates a more gradual engagement of the gears and are found in almost all car transmissions.<\/li>\n
  3. Again, the angle means they have a higher load capacity because there is more of a surface contact between two gears.<\/li>\n
  4. With the right alignment of the angle of the helical gear, they can rotate at an angle of 90 degrees.<\/li>\n
  5. Where a spur gear is great for low speed applications, a helical gear can be used at high speed.<\/li>\n
  6. There is an issue with thrust when using a helical gear. This can be overcome with additives in the lubricant, or thrust washers.<\/li>\n
  7. When a helical gear is used in non-parallel shafts, it is more commonly known as crossed axis helical gears, or spiral gears.<\/li>\n
  8. There are right handed and left handed helical gears. The difference can been seen by placing the gear on a flat surface; the teeth of the gears will lean to the left or right.<\/li>\n
  9. There are single and double helical gears. Each has it\u2019s advantages and disadvantages. <\/li>\n
  10. Improper materials will lead to helical gears wearing unevenly, creating pitting which high speed usage will exacerbate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/div>\n
    When you need to source the best helical gear manufacturer, consider whether the manufacturer is using state-of-the-art equipment and materials suited to the machinery you will be using it in. <\/div>\n
