Ensure module, teeth, helix angle, and pressure angle yield physically valid geometry (e.g., avoid undercutting: minimum teeth $N_min = \frac2\sin^2 \alpha_t \cos^3 \beta$).
Due to the sliding action between teeth, proper lubrication is essential to reduce friction. helical gear generator
A: Fundamentally, yes. A spur gear generator can only extrude a profile in a straight line. A helical gear generator must sweep the profile along a spiral path while rotating the profile simultaneously. Many "universal" generators fake this by stacking thin layers, but true generators use a helical sweep. Ensure module, teeth, helix angle, and pressure angle
