What is herring bone gears?

Herringbone gears are a type of double helical gear that has a V-shaped groove on both sides of the tooth, creating a herringbone pattern. This pattern allows for better load distribution and reduced noise compared to regular spur gears.

These gears are commonly used in high-speed applications such as in turbines, compressors, and high-performance gearboxes. They are also used in heavy equipment such as bulldozers and cranes.

Herringbone gears are expensive to manufacture due to their complex design and require precise meshing to avoid noise and vibrations. However, the benefits of increased load capacity, reduced noise, and improved efficiency make them a popular choice in certain applications.
