In this article, i will be giving you a brief introduction to spur gear. The leading edges of the teeth are not parallel to the axis of rotation, but are set at an angle. Helical gears are used increasingly often as power transmitting gears, since not only can they carry larger loads because of their lower dynamic load but also their noise and vibration levels in operation are lower compared with those of spur gears. Helical gears could be used for connecting parallel shafts and non parallel shafts also. This section on helical gear mathematics shows the detailed solutions to many general helical gearing problems. The concept of generation of pinion and gear tooth surfaces is based on application of rackcutters the idea of the rackcutters is the basis for design of such generatmg.
