A herringbone gear, a specific type of double helical equipment,[1] is a particular type of gear that is a laterally (not in person) combination of two helical gears of reverse hands. From the very best, each helical groove of the gear looks like the letter V, and several together form a herringbone design (resembling the bones of a fish like a herring). Unlike helical gears, herringbone gears do not produce an additional axial load.
Like helical gears, they have the advantage of transferring power smoothly because a lot more than two teeth will be in mesh at at any time in time. Their benefit over the helical gears can be that the side-thrust of 1 half is well balanced by that of the spouse. This means that herringbone gears can be utilized in torque gearboxes without needing a considerable thrust bearing. For this reason, herringbone gears were an important step in the launch of the steam turbine to marine propulsion.
Precision herringbone gears are more challenging to manufacture than comparative spur or helical gears and therefore are more expensive. They are used in heavy machinery.
With an comprehensive capacity to produce herringbone (or double helical) gears in quantities from large to small, HZPT Co. is definitely well-prepared to meet your production requirements, whatever the application may be. Working in ratios up to at least one 1.5 diametrical pitch and modules up to 20, we are able to produce herringbone gears measuring up to 60″ in diameter and 18″ in face width. We can also produce small parts, and provide as-needed and just-in-time scheduling systems. Our die forming, temperature treating, machining, and finishing Herringbone Gear services can be found to cover all methods of the gear production process, from begin to finish.
We feature an intensive material selection, including plastics, nylon, phenolic, alloy steels, light weight aluminum, brass, and bronze. Normal industries that we serve consist of pumps, pulp and paper, machinery, HVAC, and food digesting, as well as numerous others. From casting to forging and beyond, we utilize the ideal gear forming method for the application and production order.
