The Herringbone Gear—also known as a Double Helical Gear—is designed for high-power transmission with smooth, vibration-free performance. Its V-shaped tooth configuration combines two opposite helix angles, eliminating axial thrust while delivering excellent load distribution.
Manufactured by FloFit Enterprises using premium-grade Alloy Steel or Stainless Steel, Herringbone Gears are ideal for heavy-duty, high-torque applications across various industries, especially where continuous, silent operation is critical.
No Axial Thrust – Balanced V-shaped tooth profile cancels side loads
High Torque Transmission – Ideal for heavy-duty machinery
