PRECISION HELICAL GEARS: LOWER NOISE, HIGHER LOAD CAPACITY

Helical gears offer significant performance advantages over spur gears: the angled tooth engagement produces gradual tooth loading, smoother meshing, lower noise, and higher load-carrying capacity for a given gear size.

We make external helical gears by hobbing and precision grinding. Controlled helix angle, tight involute profile and lead tolerances, and a fine surface finish give you helical gears with very low transmission error, which is what robotic actuators, servo gearboxes, and precision motion systems need.

INSCO's helical gear grinding capability on Reishauer and Hofler CNC platforms achieves AGMA 15 quality class with full analytical inspection documentation.
