Designed for long life and high efficiency, the parallel shaft helical gear motor is a versatile choice for many mechanical systems. It provides great power density and offers a wide selection of torques and gear ratios to fit the needs of your application.

Compared to other gear types, helical gears offer the most surface contact and power carrying capacity. They also provide quieter and smoother operation compared to spur gears.

They are made of angled teeth, which engage more gradually than spur gears, and they have a larger load-carrying capacity. They can be used for a variety of applications, including machine automation.

In contrast, spur gears are made with straight teeth and are used mainly for mechanical applications. They are less efficient and can be noisy, but they are generally cheaper to produce than helical gears.

Another type of gear is the double helical, which combines left and right hand helical gears to transmit rotational motion between two parallel shafts. This type of gear can transfer up to twice the power and speed of a single helical gear.

The double helical gear is typically more expensive than a single helical gear because it requires extra production time and labor to create. It is ideal for heavy-duty applications that need to carry high loads and operate at a higher output RPM.

These gears are also more durable than other gear types because they can withstand more thrust. This makes them ideal for machinery that needs to withstand high vibration or frequent axial loading.

They can also be used in large transmission applications, such as shipboard basic reduction gears.

Their advantages include a high degree of interchangeability, reduced assembly time and labor, and superior component integrity. These gears are a cost-effective solution to many mechanical applications, especially where space is limited or when the power needed to rotate a shaft must be comparable to that of a larger parallel shaft gear motor.

In addition, they can be used for many other applications that need a smaller motor and a more powerful torque than a parallel shaft gear motor. These helical gear motors are available in foot-mounted, flange-mounted, and shaft-mounted designs to meet your application’s unique needs. They are also offered with reduced backlash for precise positioning tasks.
