is more complex version of the simplest, and probably
most common, type of gear. Using a split gear design
can help to improve strength, driving efficiency and reduce cost of
different gear drives. Split gear has an advantage of a helical gear
but it does not create axial force. Split gear design allows lower
transversal contact ratio on the each slice for higher tooth strength and
increased driving efficiency. Driving efficiency of gear depend on sliding.
Sliding velocities are the highest on the tip and on the root of the tooth.
Tooth has no sliding action on the pitch diameter.
