Question

Which of the following gear system have minimum axial thrust?

A.

Bevel gears

B.

Bevel gears

C.

Double helical gears

D.

Spur gears

Answer ( Option C)

Double helical gears

Solution

●Double helical gear is equivalent to a pair of helical gear secured together, one having a right hand helix and the other a left hand helix. They have a groove between them.

●Axial thrust which occurs in case of single helical is eliminated in double helical gears, because axial thrust of the two rows of teeth cancels each other.

●Spar gears are not subjected to axial thrust due to teeth load.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

&Key Points:-

If the left and the right inclinations of a double helical gear meet at a common apex and there is no groove in between, the gear is known as Herringbone gear.
