Signature
def make_helical_gear_rsolid(n_teeth: 'int', module: 'float', pressure_angle: 'float' = 20.0, helix_angle: 'float' = 30.0, gear_height: 'float' = 8.0, *, addendum_factor: 'float' = 1.0, clearance_factor: 'float' = 0.25, backlash: 'float' = 0.0) -> 'Solid'
Description
Create an involute helical gear.
Create an involute helical gear.
Non-zero helix angles use a continuous twisted sweep along the gear axis. An auxiliary-spine rotation law preserves the profile while generating one continuous side face per profile edge instead of one face per loft interval.
Parameters ---------- n_teeth : int Number of teeth (>= 3). module : float Gear module in mm. pressure_angle : float, default 20 Pressure angle in degrees. helix_angle : float, default 30 Helix angle in degrees. gear_height : float, default 8.0 Gear thickness along Z in mm. addendum_factor : float, default 1.0 Tooth addendum as a multiple of module. clearance_factor : float, default 0.25 Root clearance beyond the addendum, as a multiple of module. backlash : float, default 0.0 Circumferential tooth-thickness reduction at the pitch circle in mm.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Source description |

module | 'float' | yes | - | Not explicitly described in the source docstring. |
pressure_angle | 'float' | no | 20.0 | Not explicitly described in the source docstring. |
helix_angle | 'float' | no | 30.0 | Not explicitly described in the source docstring. |
gear_height | 'float' | no | 8.0 | Not explicitly described in the source docstring. |
addendum_factor | 'float' | no | 1.0 | Not explicitly described in the source docstring. |

Returns
Type: 'Solid'
The source docstring does not declare additional return semantics.
Errors
The source docstring does not declare a narrower exception contract. Invalid types, values, ownership, paths, or backend state may still raise the corresponding public error.
Behavior and constraints
- The contract below is generated from the current public runtime signature. Check domain notes for ownership and workflow constraints.
