A helical gear is a type of gear that features teeth that are cut at an angle to the axis of rotation. This angle is typically between 15 and 30 degrees, and it results in the teeth having a helical shape. This design allows for smoother and quieter operation compared to spur gears, as the gradual engagement of the teeth reduces vibration and noise.

Helical gears are commonly used in various mechanical applications, including automotive transmissions, industrial machinery, and power generation equipment. They can transmit power between parallel shafts or intersecting shafts at an angle. The angle of the helix can be left-handed or right-handed depending on the direction of rotation required

One disadvantage of helical gears is that they create axial thrust forces, which must be accommodated with thrust bearings. Additionally, helical gears can be more complex to manufacture than spur gears due to the helical angle, which requires specialized cutting tools and machinery.

Here is a basic tutorial on how to create a helical gear 3D model in CATIA V5:

Open CATIA V5 and create a new part file. Click on the "Sketcher" icon in the toolbar to create a new sketch. Use the "Circle" tool to create a circle with the desired diameter for the gear. Use the "Offset" tool to create a second circle inside the first circle, with a smaller diameter. This will represent the base circle of the gear. Use the "Line" tool to create a vertical construction line through the center of the circles. Use the "Helix" tool to create a helix that follows the construction line. The helix should have the desired pitch and height. Use the "Circular Pattern" tool to create multiple copies of the helix around the base circle. The number of copies should be equal to the number of teeth desired for the gear. Use the "Sweep" tool to create a 3D shape by sweeping the profile of the gear along the path of the helix. Use the "Boolean" tool to subtract any unwanted material from the gear, such as a hub or shaft. Use the "Chamfer" or "Fillet" tools to add chamfers or fillets to the edges of the gear.
