Off the shelf helical gears
Off the shelf helical gears
(OP)
Hello,
I am putting together a small gear drive and would like to use helical gears to keep it quiet. The only off the shelf gears I can find have a 45degree helix angle. The load is small enough, and the shafts are mounted on large enough bearings that I have no problem dealing with the large side forces. However, if I can purchase gears in the 2.5-5" range with a smaller helix angle I will out of principle.
Thanks.
