AISI 4340 Steel Transmision Spare Parts Assembled Herringbone Gears

1) Features of herringbone gear

Herringbone gears mate via the use of smooth, precisely manufactured V-shaped teeth. Like helical

gears multiple teeth are engaged during rotation, distributing the work load and offering quiet operation.

However, due to their tooth structure, herringbone gears nullify the axial thrust typical of helical gears.

2) Description of the herringbone gear

A herringbone gear, a specific type of double helical gear, is a special type of gear which is a side to side

(not face to face) combination of two helical gears of opposite hands. From the top the helical grooves

of this gear looks like letter V. Unlike helical gears they do not produce an additional axial load.
