Spur Gear VS Helical Gear
Spur Gear VS Helical Gear
One of the growing and most widely used product types in the power transmission and automotive industries is the V-belt pulley, also known as a "pulley.". A V-belt pulley is an accessory that transfers energy between shafts with the aid of a V-belt. However, in order to keep this important pair of equipment running properly, when the old equipment wears out, it is necessary to ensure that the proper V-pulley is replaced. To do this, you need to know the size, dimension and type of your V-pulley so that the replacement will function properly. It is a simple task to learn how to measure a V-belt pulley and calculate its dimensions.
Spur Gear
Spur gears are the most common type of gear and the simplest. They have straight teeth parallel to the axis of the gear. Since they have the simplest design, they are the easiest to design and manufacture and therefore the most economical type of gear. Spur gears are not known to be the smoothest or quietest gears, but they are efficient and produce a lot of power. They run well at low to medium speeds, but at higher speeds they tend to vibrate and make noise.
Helical Gear
The teeth of the helical gear are at an angle to the gear shaft. Because the teeth mesh more slowly, they run smoother and quieter than spur gears. Helical gears also have greater tooth strength and higher load carrying capacity. In addition, helical gears can transmit power between parallel or non-parallel shafts, while spur gears can only transmit power between parallel shafts. The disadvantage of helical gears is that they produce axial thrust that needs to be accounted for; something that spur gears don't need.
This is the main difference between helical and spur gears.
