Helical gears are one kind of cylindrical gears with slanted tooth trace. Compared to spur gears, they have the larger contact ratio and excel in quietness and less vibration and in a position to transmit large power. A set of helical gears has the same helix position helical cut gears However the helix hand is certainly opposite.
When the reference section of the gear is in the standard plane, by tilting the hobbing tool, the spur gear hobbing machine and hobbing tool can be utilized to create helical gears. Because of the twist of the teeth, their manufacturing gets the disadvantage of more difficult production.
The helical gears created by Ever-power can be classified into two groups by the reference section of the gears being in the rotating plane (transverse module) and normal plane (normal module). If the reference section is certainly in the rotating plane, the center distance is similar to spur gears so long as they are the same module and number of teeth. This enables for easy swapping with spur gears. However, in this case, they require special hobbing cutters and grinding stones, resulting in higher production cost. However, if the reference section is usually in the standard plane, it is possible to use spur equipment hobbing tools and grinding stones. However, the same module and quantity of teeth in spur gears no longer match the center distance of helical gears, and swapping becomes very hard. In addition, the guts distance is usually not an integer.
While spur gears do not generate axial thrust forces, because of the twist in the tooth trace, helical gears create axial thrust force. Therefore, it really is desirable to make use of thrust bearings to soak up this force. However, combining right hand and left hands helical gears making dual helical gears will get rid of the thrust force.
Helical gears are often used in automotive transmissions by replacing spur gears.
Helical gears have teeth that are set on an angle to the gear axis. The features and benefits act like spur gears, but can be a better option when higher velocities are needed. Compared to spur gears, helical gears have got greater tooth strength and a higher load carrying capacity. They also have 
a smoother and quieter operation due to their higher face contact ratio.

Besides smoother motion, higher speed capability, and less noise, another benefit that helical gears provide over spur gears is the ability to be used with either parallel or non-parallel (crossed) shafts. Helical gears with parallel shafts require the same helix angle, but opposing hands (i.e. right-handed teeth versus. left-handed teeth).
When crossed helical gears are used, they could be of possibly the same or reverse hands. If the gears have got the same hands, the sum of the helix angles should the same the angle between the shafts. The most typical exemplory case of this are crossed helical gears with perpendicular (i.e. 90 level) shafts. Both gears possess the same hand, and the sum of their helix angles equals 90 degrees. For configurations with opposing hands, the difference between helix angles should the same the angle between your shafts. Crossed helical gears provide flexibility in design, but the contact between teeth is closer to point contact than line contact, so they have lower power features than parallel shaft designs.
Helical gears are often the default choice in applications that are ideal for spur gears but have nonparallel shafts. They are also utilized in applications that want high speeds or high loading. And regardless of the load or speed, they generally provide smoother, quieter operation than spur gears.
