The document discusses different types of gears used in mechanical engineering. It describes spur gears, helical gears, herringbone gears, and worm gears. For each gear type, it provides details on the gear geometry, how they transmit power between parallel or non-parallel shafts, typical applications, and advantages over other gear types for high speed operation or large gear reductions. The document also discusses beam strength, wear strength, and dynamic loads on helical gear teeth.

of the Gear Type of Gearing of the shafts.
Non Parallel Parallel Intersecting & Non Intersecting Low Velocity Internal Spur Medium Velocity External Helical Rack-Pinion Double Bevel Worm High Velocity Helical SPUR GEAR Spur gears are cylindrical and teeth is parallel to axis of rotation of the shaft Transmit power from one shaft to another parallel shaft Applications: Machine tool gear box, automobile gear box, Electric Machines , oscillating sprinkler, Mechanical Watches, washing machine and clothes dryer According to Axis of Shaft
Double helical gears also called as Herringbone gear
Helical Gear • The teeth on helical gears are cut in the form of helix on the pitch cylinder, • i.e teeth are cut inclined to the axis of rotation of the shaft • Teeth of the helical gear with parallel axis have line contact as in spur gear. • This gradual engagement makes helical gears operate much more smoothly and quietly than spur gears Herringbone gears • To avoid axial thrust, two helical gears of opposite hand can be mounted side by side, to cancel resulting thrust forces • Herringbone gears are mostly used on heavy machinery. Ex: Marine and ship industry Helical gears are used in automobile, turbines in high speed applications even upto 3000m/min. In spur gear meshing between the tooth occurs along the entire face width of the tooth , resulting generate noise and failure in case of high speed application. There is a gradual pike up of the load by the tooth, resulting smooth engagement and quite operation even in high speed. Herringbone gears are mostly used on heavy machinery. Ex: Marine and ship industry BEAM STRENGTH AND Dynamic load OF THE HELICAL GEARS WEAR STRENTH OF THE HELICAL GEARS WORM AND WORM GEAR Worm gear is a Non-parallel and non intersecting Worm gears are used when large gear reductions are needed. It is common for worm gears to have reductions of 20:1, and even up to 300:1 or greater Many worm gears have an interesting property that no other gear set has: the worm can easily turn the gear, but the gear cannot turn the worm Worm gears are used widely in material handling and transportation machinery, machine tools, automobiles etc
