Forged AISI 8620 Steel Herringbone Gear Shaft for Heavy Duty Machinery

Forged AISI 8620 Steel Transmission Spare Parts Double Helical Gear Herringbone Gear Shaft

• Identical teeth are cut in two halves of the gear blank maintaining same module, number of teeth and helix angle but opposite hand of helix.
• Thrust force produces by each half of the gear is equal and opposite in direction; and thus they cancel out each other.
• Absence of thrust force gives the provision to use higher helix angle (up to about 45°).
• Since thrust force does not exist, so bearings that can handle heavy radial load can be used with herringbone gear.
