Spiroid fills a key design gap others can’t.
Spiroid Gearing
Spiroid is trusted by many top agencies around the planet for high torque solutions. The Spiroid brand includes two similar gearing solutions, Spiroid® Gears and Helicon® Gears. These gear sets consist of a pinion and a face-gear operating in non-intersecting and non-parallel axes. By definition, the pinion has fewer teeth and is typically the driving member. This category of gearing is often referred to as “skew axis”.
Spiroid and Helicon gear systems are advantageous in that they broaden gearing design opportunities restricted by the physical limitations of conventional gearing. In essence, they represent another powerful design option for engineers looking to transmit higher torques, within smaller spaces, at 90-degree gearbox angles. Spiroid and Helicon: maximum power density in a right angle gearbox solution.
Depending on the application, Spiroid and Helicon gear systems will often offer these important benefits:
Superior torque transmission & power density
Compact & lightweight relative to application-specific alternatives
Wide range of reduction gearing ratios (3:1 to 400:1)
