Helical Gearbox India Helical gears are similar to spur gears except that their teeth are cut at an angle to the hole (axis) rather than straight and parallel to the hole like the teeth of a spur gear. Helical gears are used to connect non-intersecting shafts. Boston standard helical gears with 45-degree helix angles (a term that will be discussed below) are used to connect parallel shafts or shafts at right (90º) angles.  Helical gears are manufactured as both right and left-hand gears. The teeth of a left-hand helical gear lean to the left when the gear is placed on a flat surface. The teeth of a right-hand helical gear lean to the right when placed on a flat surface. Opposite hand helical gears run on parallel shafts. Gears of the same hand operate with shafts of 90º.

  Spinal Helix Bevel Gear KEM has the expertise to help you select the best power transmission solution for your vessel. From low angles with flex type style to constant velocity design for high angularity, we have the products that will fit your application. Marine power transmission can be complicated and we are very familiar with the convoluted nature of these propulsion systems. Whether it’s a new application or servicing an existing universal joint drive shaft, we stock the products you need and can assemble them for immediate shipment. Our highly trained technicians take pride in finding solutions to your critical requirements.

A companion flange, sometimes referred to as a hub, allows connection of a flange yoke to another type of connection, for proper torque transfer. The flange yoke is bolted with either through holes or threaded holes to the appropriate companion flange, which has some other form of connection, primarily bore and key or splined input shaft. At KEM we stock a complete line of standard size companion flanges with rough bore that we machine to fit your splined & keyed shafts. We have the capability to bore and key from DIN 58mm to 390mm, and from SAE 1310 to 1950 series, as well as spline bores and cross-serrate flange faces to fit your particular application. We also have machining capabilities that allow us to do special order jobs on material up to 750mm.  

A gear or cogwheel is a rotating machine part having cut teeth, or cogs, which mesh with another toothed part in order to transmit torque, in most cases with teeth on the one gear being of identical shape, and often also with that shape on the other gear. Two or more gears working in tandem are called a transmission and can produce a mechanical advantage through a gear ratio and thus may be considered a simple machine. Geared devices can change the speed, torque, and direction of a power source. The most common situation is for a gear to mesh with another gear; however, a gear can also mesh with a non-rotating toothed part, called a rack, thereby producing translation instead of rotation. The gears in a transmission are analogous to the wheels in a crossed belt pulley system. An advantage of gears is that the teeth of a gear prevent slippage. When two gears mesh, and one gear is bigger than the other (even though the size of the teeth must match), a mechanical advantage is produced, with the rotational speeds and the torques of the two gears differing in an inverse relationship. In transmissions which offer multiple gear ratios, such as bicycles, motorcycles, and cars, the term gear, as in first gear, refers to a gear ratio rather than an actual physical gear. The term is used to describe similar devices even when the gear ratio is continuous rather than discrete, or when the device does not actually contain any gears, as in a continuously variable transmission. [1] The earliest known reference to gears was circa A.D. 50 by Hero of Alexandria. [2] but they can be traced back to the Greek mechanics of the Alexandrian school in the 3rd century B.C. and were greatly developed by the Greek polymath Archimedes
