Spiroid Winglets – Sculpting Air to Increase Efficiency One of the most fascinating winglet designs, the spiroid, has a captivating story to tell Aerodynamically, a winglet is little more than an increase in the span of the wing When a wing generates lift, a small, tornado-like vortex spills off each tip, creating drag
Spiroid Gearing - Gear Technology The Spiroid family of gears consists of two trademarked brands, Spiroid® and Helicon® This type of gearing, often referred to as “skew axis gearing”, operates on non-intersecting and non-parallel axes
Spiroid Gears as an Alternative to Bevel and Hypoid Gears A spiroid gear in the range of its relatively low gear ratios (12 and less) can and should be considered as a technical solution alternative to bevel and hypoid gears and providing a relative simplicity of preparation and implementation of manufacturing and assembly,
90 Degree Gearbox | Spiroid Helicon | Right Angle The Spiroid brand includes two similar gearing solutions, Spiroid® Gears and Helicon® Gears These gear sets are comprised of a pinion and a face-gear operating in non-intersecting and non-parallel axes
Right Angle Spiroid® Gear These compact, lightweight and high torque gearheads were developed to transmit power at 90deg in the smallest possible form factor The Spiroid® technology incorporated in the gearhead design offers a number of performance benefits:
Spiroid Gearing – ITW Heartland The Spiroid brand includes two similar gearing solutions, Spiroid Gears and Helicon Gears These gear sets are comprised of a pinion and a face-gear operating in non-intersecting and non-parallel axes
Design - Spiroid Gearing The differences between Helicon and Spiroid gear forms are all attributable to geometry As the images to the right illustrate, Helicon pinions are cylindrical and engage a flat-faced gear
Spiroid® and Helicon® Gearing | SpringerLink The Spiroid family of gears consists of two trademarked brands, Spiroid ® and Helicon ® This type of gearing, often referred to as “skew axis gearing,” operates on nonintersecting and nonparallel axes It is designed and produced using software, tooling, and methods developed by Illinois Tool Works, who owns and maintains the IP
