What is a herringbone gearing?
In the case of herringbone gearing, the teeth are arranged in the shape of an arrow. This is also referred to as double helical gearing. In contrast to straight and helical gearing, arrow gearing is suitable for achieving conveying with as little pulsation as possible. On the one hand, the arrow-shaped arrangement of the teeth improves the intake behavior and, on the other hand, leads to a significant reduction in pulsations. The arrow toothing is preferably used when low pulsation and gentler conveying of the medium is required - than is the case with helical toothing. In addition to the low pulsation, high efficiencies are also achieved with this application.
