The benefits and drawbacks of herringbone gear and its application
We all know that the helical gear has a better bearing capacity than the spur gear, and the herringbone gear is a helical gear with opposing symmetrical directions, since the helical gear in these two directions is caused by the helical gear. Because the axial force created by the angle cancels out, the bearing supporting the gear shaft will not carry the axial force, thus the herringbone gear has a better bearing capacity. Are you aware of the benefits of herringbone gears? Let us sum them up for you.
1. The herringbone gear has a high coincidence, with at least two teeth engaged at all times.
2. The meshing process between the teeth of the herringbone cylindrical gear is excessive, with the force on the gear teeth gradually increasing from small to big, and then from large to tiny; the herringbone gear has a high bearing capacity and functions smoothly.
3. There is no or very little axial force due to the opposite direction of the tooth helix angle in the symmetrical direction of the herringbone gear.
Herringbone gears are commonly employed in equipment with high load and reliability requirements, such as steam turbines. Pumps may also be made using herringbone teeth. Herringbone teeth are also used in the ship's propulsion gearbox.
