Question

Which type of gear will be used for non-parallel and non-intersecting shafts?

गैर-समानांतर और गैर-प्रतिच्छेदी शाफ्ट के लिए किस प्रकार के गियर का उपयोग किया जाएगा?

A.

Helical gears

B.

Hypoid gears

C.

Worm gears

D.

Herringbone gears

Answer ( Option C)

Worm gears

Solution

  • From the given options, worm gear is used for transmitting power in non-parallel and non-intersecting shaft.
  • Helical gear and Herringbone gears are used to transmit power in parallel shafts.
  • A hypoid gear is used to transmit power non-parallel intersecting shafts.

Helical gear :

  • It is similar to spur gears but its teeth are cut at an angle which is called as helix angle with the axis of rotation of the gear.
  • Two such gears may be used to connect two parallel shafts in place of spur gear.
  • The helixes may be right handed on one wheel and left handed on the other.

           

Double helical (Herring-bone) gears :

  • These gears are formed by joining two helical gears of identical pitch but of opposite hand.
  • The axial thrust of these two gears act in opposite direction, therefore, the effect of axial thrust is nullified and shaft is free from any axial force.

Worm gears :

Hypoid gear :

  • It is similar to the spiral bevel gear and is used to connect non parallel but intersecting shafts.

 

Hence, the correct option is (C)
