When precision, durability, and smooth operation are paramount, Ground Helical Gears emerge as an exceptional choice for power transmission systems. These gears, characterized by their angled teeth and meticulously ground surfaces, offer superior performance in high-load and high-speed applications. At FMP Company, we are proud to manufacture a wide variety of ground helical gears, serving industries worldwide with both standard and custom solutions. In this article, we’ll explore the materials used, available models, and how FMP delivers top-quality gears tailored to your needs.
What Are Ground Helical Gears?
Ground helical gears are a type of helical gear where the tooth surfaces are precision-ground after heat treatment to achieve exceptional accuracy and smoothness. The helical design—featuring teeth cut at an angle to the gear axis—ensures gradual engagement, reducing noise and vibration compared to spur gears. The grinding process enhances surface finish and dimensional precision, making these gears ideal for applications requiring minimal backlash and maximum efficiency, such as gearboxes, automotive systems, and industrial machinery.
