Herringbone Gear

A herringbone equipment, a specific type of double helical equipment,[1] is a particular type of equipment that is a laterally (not face to face) combination of two helical gears of reverse hands. From the top, each helical groove of this gear appears like the letter V, and many together type a herringbone pattern (resembling the bones of a fish like a herring). Unlike helical gears, herringbone gears usually do not produce yet another axial load.
Like helical gears, they have the advantage of transferring power smoothly because a lot more than two teeth will maintain mesh at any moment in time. Their benefit over the helical gears is that the side-thrust of one half is balanced by that of the other half. This means that herringbone gears can be utilized in torque gearboxes without requiring a substantial thrust bearing. Because of this, herringbone gears were an important step in the launch of the steam turbine to marine propulsion.
Precision herringbone gears are more difficult to manufacture than comparative spur or helical gears and therefore are more expensive. They are used in heavy machinery.
With an extensive capacity to produce herringbone (or double helical) gears in quantities from huge to small, HZPT Co. is certainly well-prepared to meet up your production requirements, whatever the application form may be. Working in ratios up to at least one 1.5 diametrical pitch and modules up to 20, we can 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-period scheduling systems. Our die forming, high temperature treating, machining, and completing services are available to cover all methods of the gear production Herringbone Gear process, from start to finish.
We feature an intensive materials selection, including plastics, nylon, phenolic, alloy steels, aluminum, brass, and bronze. Normal industries that people serve include pumps, pulp and paper, machinery, HVAC, and food processing, as well as numerous others. From casting to forging and beyond, we utilize the ideal equipment forming method for the application and production order.
