Herringbone Gearing Process

Our products are carefully manufactured with precision, so they fit your desired specifications and handle heavy axial loads. Herringbone gearing requires a cutting process that includes sykes cutting or milling to generate the herringbone tooth form.

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

Herringbone vs. Double Helical Gears

Herringbone and double-helical increase efficiency and transfer power smoothly while producing a minimal sound level. This smooth power transfer can be attributed to the unique design, allowing multiple helix angled teeth to mesh simultaneously. While herringbone and double helical gears are often grouped into the same category, they have 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 design of herringbone teeth eliminates the axial load, leaving only a radial load. Both Herringbone and Double Helical gears are responsible for power transmission from the driving shaft to the drive shaft. Compared to helical and spur gears, double helical and herringbone gears can handle a larger thrust load required by heavy machinery and other applications. Geartec is known for precision gearing services. We pride ourselves on our quality material, high-tech equipment, and proven process. Whether you need a herringbone gear manufactured or need a repair on an existing unit or gear, we are here to help.
