helical gears
As i understand it, a helical gear should be approximately the same efficiency, if not better, than a spur gear for the same power rating (not size) and should in fact be smaller for the same power rating. I have not yet seen a FIRST gearbox that utilizes helical gears and i was wondering why this was? Is the cost actually the limiting factor in this case?
