Helical Gears

Beard and Fitch have capacity to manufacture helical gears from 5 mm up to 1,220 mm in diameter from 0.254 to 12.7 module (100 to 2 DP). You can order anything from a 1 off to 1,000 off gears; the same degree of care goes in to the manufacture of every gear we produce.

Helical gears have involute teeth cut at an angle to the face of the gear. When the teeth of the gears engage, the contact starts from an end and gradually spreads with the rotation of the gears, until the two teeth come to be in complete contact. Helical gears have a big advantage over spur gears in operation as generally they run more smoothly and more quietly with less vibration. The longer and strong teeth give greater contact surface area, this makes helical gears ideal for carrying heavy loads at higher speeds.Finishes available to our clients are as cut or for greater precision shaved or for high precision gears we can offer gear tooth profile grinding.
