Herringbone gears are having two sets of helical teeth, one set inclined at an acute angle to the other and are used to transfer large loads without thrust load on the shafts. Owing to the higher load carrying capacity, larger total contact ratio and lower axial force, the herringbone gears are preferred over spur and helical gears in planetary gear trains. They are preferably suited for high shock and vibration applications. Modal analysis and Fatigue analysis have been carried out on herringbone gears of alloy steel and carbon fiber reinforced composite using ANSYS. The results show that the superior material for herringbone gear can be attained by comparing the material properties. This is substantiated by monitoring deformation and fatigue life.
