Explanation:

Helical gear: These gears are used to connect the shafts whose axes parallel and teeth are inclined to the axis.

Double helical or Herringbone gears:

  • These gears are used for transmitting power between two parallel shafts.
  • They have opposing helical teeth. Two axial thrusts oppose each other and nullify.


Hypoid gears: These gears connect the shafts whose axes are non-parallel and non-intersecting.

Worm gearing: is essentially a form of spiral gearing in which the shafts are usually at right. The two non-parallel and non-intersecting, but non-coplanar shafts connected by worm gears.
