Hi all, I've got a simple transmission: two seperated parallel gears with an idler in between that slides in and out of contact with both gears, thus transferring power from one gear to the other through the idler.
I'd like to lower the noise of the system, and I'm considering the advantages of helical gears. However, the worst noise happens as the idler comes in and out of engagement -when there's not full contact of the gears, and the teeth mesh noisily.
Will helical gears help at all in this special noise case?
