Helixes & augers - Choose your pattern
Pick your pattern
Some general tips related to this category:
- Helixes are not developable surfaces.
- Cold deformation in the Z direction is considered, (perpendicular to the sheet metal surface), without thinning nor stretching of the metal sheet.
- Bending is to be applied along straight generatrices. It is recommended that the helix pitch be smaller than the outer diameter.
Augers: Augers or helixes are metal parts used in many industries to move materials or liquids. They consist of a screw-shaped shaft that rotates within a tube, propelling the contents in the direction of the spiral. Augers are commonly used in agriculture to transport grain or feed, while helixes are used in industrial applications for conveying materials such as powders or chemicals.
