When it comes to precision engineering and power transmission, Parallel Axis Helical Gears stand out as a reliable and efficient solution. At FMP Company, we take pride in being a leading manufacturer of various types of parallel axis helical gears, catering to industries across Italy—from the industrial hubs of Milan and Bologna to the historic cities of Venice and Florence.
What Are Parallel Axis Helical Gears?
Parallel axis gears are a category of gears designed to transmit motion and power between two parallel shafts. Among these, helical gears are distinguished by their unique tooth design, which is cut at an angle to the gear axis in a helical pattern. This contrasts with spur gears, which feature straight teeth parallel to the axis. The helical design allows for smoother, quieter operation and greater load-carrying capacity, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.
At FMP, we specialize in producing parallel helical gears, which are used exclusively for parallel shaft arrangements. These gears require precise engineering: two mating gears must have the same module and pressure angle but opposite helix directions (e.g., a right-hand helix gear pairs with a left-hand helix gear). This ensures seamless engagement and efficient power transmission, with efficiency rates ranging from 98.0% to 99.5% due to their rolling contact meshing.

Why Choose Parallel Axis Helical Gears?
Parallel helical gears offer several advantages over other gear types, such as spur gears or crossed helical gears:
- High Power Transmission Capacity: Thanks to their broader tooth contact area, parallel helical gears can handle higher loads compared to spur gears of the same size. They’re suitable for applications ranging from small machinery to heavy-duty industrial systems.
- Smooth and Quiet Operation: The gradual engagement of helical teeth reduces noise and vibration, making them a preferred choice for high-speed applications in cities like Milan, where precision manufacturing thrives.
- Versatility: These gears are used in diverse industries, including automotive, marine, and industrial gearboxes—sectors that are prominent in regions like Bologna and Florence.
However, helical gears do produce thrust loads along the shaft due to their angled teeth, requiring the use of thrust bearings. At FMP, our engineers design solutions that account for this, ensuring optimal performance and durability.
