Herringbone Gearing Process

Our product line features a wide variety of gear components manufactured with precision to meet your desired specifications and handle heavy axial loads. Herringbone gearing requires a cutting process that includes sykes cutting or milling to generate the distinctive gear shape.

• The process begins with choosing a material that fits the application or designed specifications.
• Once the material is chosen, it is rotated, and the cutting tools begin to shape the helical gear teeth to a predetermined form and AGMA gear quality specification, ensuring they can handle a wide range of load capacities.
• Once the finishing tolerances are achieved, our team of trained inspectors and quality experts verifies that all components are within the agreed design and manufacturing scope before shipment.

Our state-of-the-art equipment can produce herringbone gears within these reasonable standards:

Herringbone vs. Double Helical Gears

Both herringbone and double-helical gears are responsible for power transmission from the driving shaft to the drive shaft, ensuring smoother operation. These advanced gear designs allow multiple helix-angled teeth to mesh simultaneously. Although they are often grouped into the same category, there is one noticeable difference: A herringbone has closed, “V” shaped teeth, while the double-helical gear has teeth that do not converge to an apex, leaving a groove in the middle. The unique design of herringbone gears eliminates the axial load, leaving only a radial load. When it comes to heavy machinery and other industrial applications, both herringbone and double helical gears excel at handling the substantial thrust loads.Geartec is known for precision gearing services.
